Clifton Wyreema

Wyreema and Clifton are two different types of small towns. Wyreema is a young area where the typical resident is 29, and it has a much higher share of children under 15 (27.9%). It is also wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $1,730 and a far higher share of residents who finished Year 12 (53.2%). In contrast, Clifton is much older, with a typical age of 49 and a large population of seniors (33.4%). Typical weekly household income in Clifton is much lower at $858.

Both areas are very similar in that almost no one uses public transport to get to work and very few people speak a language other than English at home. However, their lifestyles differ; Clifton is somewhat walkable and has many homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. Wyreema is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of shops. Over time, the gap in age and income between these two towns has widened significantly since 2011.
