Rangewood Toomulla

Rangewood and Toomulla (L) are two different types of residential areas in the Townsville region. Rangewood is more affluent and family-oriented, with a typical weekly household income of $2,493 and a high share of large homes, as 96.2% have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Toomulla (L) is much older and more sparsely populated, with a typical resident aged 57 and 31.1% of people aged 65 and over. This older demographic is reflected in the housing, where 50% of homes are owned outright and 33.7% of people live alone.

Both areas are almost identical in their reliance on cars, with virtually no residents using public transport to commute and every home owning at least one motor vehicle. While they share these transport patterns, other gaps are widening. Since 2011, the income gap has grown significantly, and the difference in age has also increased, with residents in Toomulla (L) becoming far older than those in Rangewood.
