Hill Thuringowa

Hill and Thuringowa are two very different Queensland locations. Hill is a much older area where the typical resident is 46 and 42.2% of homes are owned outright. In contrast, Thuringowa is younger with a typical age of 36 and more people working or looking for work (62.1% compared to 51.8% in Hill). Thuringowa is more urban, with a walkability score of 4.5 (somewhat walkable) and far more large homes with three or more bedrooms (89.7%). Hill is mostly car-dependent with a walkability score of 2.0, though it has many more schools within 3km.

The gap in home ownership has widened since 2011, with Hill now significantly more likely to have homes owned outright. Despite this, the two areas are similar in other ways. They have almost the same share of people who speak little or no English and a similar proportion of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. Both areas also have a similar share of people who need help with daily activities, sitting around 6% to 7%.
