Tieri Willows Gemfields

Tieri (L) and Willows Gemfields (L) are two very different Queensland locations. Tieri (L) is a young, high-earning area where the typical resident is 29 and typical weekly household income is $3,143. It is dominated by families, with 26.9% of people being children and 89.8% of homes being rented. In contrast, Willows Gemfields (L) is a sparsely populated area with a much older population; the typical resident is 63, and 46.5% of people are seniors. Incomes are much lower here, with a typical weekly household income of $758, and 62.5% of homes are owned outright.

Both areas are completely car-dependent, with no residents within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or public transport. While they share this lack of walkability, they have drifted apart in other ways since 2011. The gap in typical age has widened significantly, and the difference in income has grown, with Tieri (L) now far higher than Willows Gemfields (L) in both measures.
