Curra Kilkivan

Curra and Kilkivan are nearby Queensland towns with very different layouts and demographics. Kilkivan is a somewhat walkable area where 80.7% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school and 82.3% are near groceries. In contrast, Curra is car-dependent and has far fewer larger homes, with 78.8% having three or more bedrooms. Kilkivan is also much older, with a typical resident aged 54 and 31.0% of the population aged 65 and over, compared to 46 years and 21.4% in Curra.

Everyday life in both places shares similar typical weekly family incomes, around $1,200, and an almost identical share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. While they share these basics, the two areas have moved in opposite directions since 2011. For example, the age gap has shifted, with residents now far older in Kilkivan, and the difference in volunteering has narrowed, though 21.2% of Kilkivan residents still volunteer compared to 10.7% in Curra.
