Cambooya Withcott

Cambooya and Withcott are two nearby Queensland areas with similar population sizes, but they differ sharply in age and wealth. Cambooya is far younger, with a typical resident aged 29, compared to 37 in Withcott. This younger profile is consistent with a much higher rental rate in Cambooya (41.0% versus 11.1% in Withcott) and more people moving in over the last five years. In contrast, Withcott is more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $2,123, which is well higher than the $1,544 seen in Cambooya.

Everyday life in both places is mostly car-dependent, and they share very similar rates of full-time employment and unemployment. They also have nearly the same proportion of people who speak a language other than English at home. However, some gaps have widened over time. The difference in typical age has grown to 8 years since 2011, and the gap in home ownership has increased, with Withcott now seeing far more homes owned outright.
