Gowrie Junction Kingsthorpe

Gowrie Junction and Kingsthorpe are neighbouring Queensland areas with similar population sizes, but they differ in wealth and layout. Gowrie Junction is more affluent, with a typical household income of $2,228 a week compared to $1,636 in Kingsthorpe, and a higher share of residents who finished Year 12. Kingsthorpe is more walkable, with 82% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park and 31.2% near health services, while Gowrie Junction has no homes within that distance of health services.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, such as having almost identical proportions of children under 15 and people born overseas. They are also both very reliant on cars, with virtually no one commuting by public transport. However, some gaps are widening; the difference in the share of people with no religion has grown since 2011, as has the gap in those moving into the area, which is now far higher in Kingsthorpe.
