Goondiwindi Yelarbon

Goondiwindi and Yelarbon (L) are nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Goondiwindi is a larger hub where the typical resident is 37 and weekly family income is far higher at $1,920. It has a more qualified workforce, with 13.2% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, and a higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 19.8%. In contrast, Yelarbon (L) is sparsely populated and far older, with a typical age of 49. Residents there earn much less, with a typical weekly family income of $1,093, and 41.9% of people live with a long-term health condition.

Since 2011, the gaps between the two have often widened, particularly regarding education and employment. While the share of adults with a university degree is now far higher in Goondiwindi, the gap in school completion has grown significantly since 2011. Both areas are similar in that they are somewhat walkable and have nearly the same percentage of people born overseas. They also share a very low reliance on public transport for commuting.
