Thuringowa Traeger

Thuringowa and Traeger are two very different Queensland areas. Thuringowa is a more urbanised place with far more separate houses (91.0%) and a higher share of homes with three or more bedrooms (89.7%). It has much larger schools and far better public transport access, with 81.0% of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop compared to 0.0% in Traeger. Traeger is much more sparsely populated and rural, where mining and agriculture are the top industries and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population is far higher at 22.0% compared to 11.7% in Thuringowa.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions across several key measures. Thuringowa has seen its lead grow in the share of separate houses and large homes, while Traeger has become more likely to have people living alone and higher incomes. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain similar in some ways, such as having almost the same share of children under 15 (around 21%) and very similar typical monthly mortgage payments.
