Hinchinbrook Thuringowa

Thuringowa and Hinchinbrook are both Queensland areas with similar population sizes, but they offer very different living environments. Thuringowa is much more walkable, with a score of 4.5 (somewhat walkable) compared to Hinchinbrook's 1.9 (car-dependent). This is seen in the layout; Thuringowa has far more public transport stops and 42.6% of its homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, while only 14.8% do in Hinchinbrook. Thuringowa also has far larger schools, with an average size of 768 students compared to 242 in Hinchinbrook.

These two places share many similarities, including a typical weekly income of around $800 and an equal average of 2.6 people per home. While they track closely on these basics, some gaps are shifting. The difference in the share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people has narrowed since 2011, although this population remains well higher in Thuringowa at 11.7%. Meanwhile, the gap in home ownership has also shrunk, with Hinchinbrook remaining more likely to have homes owned outright at 29.9%.
