Kingaroy Yarraman

Kingaroy and Yarraman (L) are two nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Kingaroy is a larger hub with a younger population and more people working or looking for work (55.1% compared to 29.0% in Yarraman (L)). It has a far higher proportion of recent overseas arrivals (22.5% versus 2.9%) and typical weekly family incomes are much higher at $1,528, while they are $942 in Yarraman (L). In contrast, Yarraman (L) is a smaller place where residents are far older, with a typical age of 55 compared to 38 in Kingaroy. It is also much more walkable, with 82.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to 49.7% in Kingaroy.

The gap in typical ages has widened since 2011, when the two areas were the same age. Despite this trend, they share some common traits, such as similar proportions of people born overseas and almost identical shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. Both areas also have very few homes within walking distance of public transport.
