Kingsthorpe Oakey

Oakey and Kingsthorpe are two nearby Queensland areas with distinct social and economic profiles. Oakey has a far higher share of renters (36.1% compared to 15.4% in Kingsthorpe) and a much larger proportion of one-parent families (24.3% versus 12.0%). Its layout is more walkable for daily needs, with 47.1% of homes within a 15 minute walk of groceries, while Kingsthorpe has none. Kingsthorpe is wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $1,636, which is well higher than the $1,209 seen in Oakey.

Both areas are very similar in how they get around and work, with nearly identical rates of full-time employment and no residents using public transport to commute. This shared reliance on cars is reflected in their similar street connectivity. While Kingsthorpe has a younger typical age of 35 compared to 41 in Oakey, this gap has narrowed since 2011. Other differences, such as the share of people living alone or those with a mortgage, have also shifted over time as the two areas evolve.
