Dalby Pittsworth

Dalby and Pittsworth are two Queensland towns with very different layouts and ages. Pittsworth is a more compact, accessible place, where 85.3% of homes are in a 15-minute-city walkshed and the walkability score is somewhat walkable. In contrast, Dalby is mostly car-dependent, with only 45.1% of homes in a similar walkshed. The two towns also differ in age and population; Pittsworth is much older, with 26.5% of residents aged 65 and over, while the typical resident in Dalby is noticeably younger at 35.

Daily life in both towns shares many similarities, including a near-identical number of people per home (2.5) and typical monthly mortgage payments of $1,300. They also have similar rates of overseas births and unemployment. While Dalby currently has a higher share of people working or looking for work and more renters, several of these gaps have narrowed or flipped since 2011, suggesting the two areas are moving closer together in some ways.
