Rangewood Yabulu

Rangewood and Yabulu (L) are two nearby areas in Townsville with very different profiles. Rangewood is a wealthier area where the typical household earns $2,493 a week, far higher than the $1,272 typical in Yabulu (L). Education levels differ sharply, with 51.1% of Rangewood residents completing Year 12 compared to 29.9% in Yabulu (L). Rangewood also has a much higher share of large homes, with 96.2% of houses having three or more bedrooms, while Yabulu (L) has a higher proportion of people living alone (28.5% versus 8.4% in Rangewood).

These gaps in income and education have widened significantly since 2011.
