Walloon Thagoona

Walloon and Thagoona (L) are neighbouring areas in Ipswich with very different streetscapes. Walloon is much more accessible, with 55.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a '15-minute-city' amenity, while Thagoona (L) has none. It is also a younger and more transient place; the typical resident is 33, and 51.3% of people moved there in the last five years. In contrast, residents in Thagoona (L) are far older with a typical age of 41, and renting is far less common there, at 8.5% compared to 31.8% in Walloon.

Everyday life in both places shares several similarities, including typical personal and family incomes and a similar proportion of adults with a bachelor degree. Both are also largely car-dependent, though Walloon is more walkable. Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in some ways: the age gap has widened to eight years, and the difference in rental rates has flipped and grown to 23.3 percentage points.
