Millmerran Oakey

Millmerran and Oakey are two Queensland towns with very different layouts and populations. Millmerran is much more walkable, with 84.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and a walkability score of 5.4 (somewhat walkable). In contrast, Oakey is mostly car-dependent, with only 11.0% of homes near health services and a score of 2.6. Millmerran also has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 34.5%, while Oakey has a notably larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 13.3%.

Both towns share a very similar economic profile, with typical weekly household incomes sitting around $1,200 and nearly identical rates of full-time employment. They also have almost the same proportion of people who have moved house in the last five years. While they share these basics, other gaps are shifting; the difference in the number of people with no religion has narrowed since 2011, but the gap in recent overseas arrivals has widened significantly.
