Pittsworth Wyreema

Pittsworth and Wyreema are two nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Pittsworth is a more established hub where the typical resident is 42, and 26.5% of the population is aged 65 or over. It is also much more walkable, with 85.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and a walkability score of 5.1 (somewhat walkable). In contrast, Wyreema is far younger, with a typical age of 29 and a car-dependent walkability score of 1.5. This younger demographic is reflected in the fact that 38.1% of adults there are caring for children unpaid, compared to 24.6% in Pittsworth.

Both areas share very similar levels of daily unpaid housework and an almost identical percentage of people who speak little or no English. However, the gaps between them are shifting; for example, the typical age gap has flipped since 2011, and the difference in typical weekly household income has grown, with Wyreema now well higher at $1,730 compared to $1,277 in Pittsworth. While Pittsworth has far more homes owned outright at 36.3%, Wyreema has a higher share of adults working or looking for work at 74.7%, which is far above the national figure.
