Rosewood Walloon

Rosewood and Walloon are neighbouring areas in Queensland with distinct profiles. Walloon is a wealthier, younger area where the typical personal income is $855 per week and 65.9% of adults are working or looking for work. It is also more family-oriented, with 90.4% of homes having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Rosewood has a notably older population, with a typical age of 39 and a higher share of people aged 65 and over (20.2%). Rosewood is also more reliant on public transport, with 47.1% of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop, compared to just 12.4% in Walloon.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions across several key measures. Gaps have flipped in areas like household income, rental rates, and school walkability, while the age difference between the two has widened. Despite these shifting trends, they remain similar in some ways. Both areas are very similar in the share of people who have served in the Defence Force and the proportion of residents who speak little or no English.
