Kilcoy vs Woodford

Urban Centre comparison ≈ 22 km apart · Kilcoy profile · Woodford profile

Kilcoy Woodford

Woodford and Kilcoy are nearby Queensland towns with very different social profiles. Kilcoy is far more diverse, with 31.8% of people born overseas compared to 13.0% in Woodford, and 25.9% using another language at home versus just 1.4% in Woodford. This is driven by a huge influx of new arrivals from overseas in Kilcoy, where 48.1% of people moved in the last five years. In contrast, Woodford has a much higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents, at 12.4% compared to 3.1% in Kilcoy. Residents in Kilcoy also have better access to the basics, with 62.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while only 32.6% of Woodford homes are that close.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of separate houses, which make up about 95% of dwellings in each place. They are also very similar in their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $1,400. While they share these traits, the gap in overseas arrivals has widened significantly since 2011, and the number of people in Kilcoy who have completed Year 12 is now far higher than in Woodford.
