Gracemere and Mulambin are two Queensland areas with very different layouts. Gracemere is much more walkable, with 59.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school and 30.8% near groceries, while Mulambin has no homes within that distance of either. Gracemere also has a younger feel, with a typical resident aged 32 and 26.6% of the population being children under 15. In contrast, Mulambin is older, with a typical resident aged 39, and has a higher share of high-earners, with 22.2% of households earning $3,000 or more a week.

Their paths have diverged since 2011 in several ways, including a widening gap in the number of children and a flip in who has the higher share of high-income earners.
