The Palms Kilkivan

The Palms (L) and Kilkivan (L) are two nearby Queensland areas with very different lifestyles. Kilkivan (L) is much older, with a typical resident aged 54 and 31% of people aged 65 and over. It is also more walkable, described as somewhat walkable, with many residents living within a 15-minute walk of shops, parks, and schools. In contrast, The Palms (L) is car-dependent and more likely to have larger homes, with 81.9% having three or more bedrooms. Residents in The Palms (L) also have higher typical weekly incomes ($1,379 compared to $900 in Kilkivan (L)) and a higher share of people who finished Year 12.

Daily life in both places shares some similarities, such as having nearly identical proportions of children under 15 and a small Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population. However, the gaps between them are often shifting. The typical age gap has flipped since 2011, as has the difference in the number of people living alone, which is now far higher in Kilkivan (L) at 44.2%.
