Daintree vs Newell

Urban Centre comparison ≈ 20 km apart · Daintree profile · Newell profile

Daintree Newell

Newell and Daintree are nearby Queensland areas with very different social and economic profiles. Daintree is sparsely populated and has a much older population, with 37.6% aged 65 and over compared to 27.2% in Newell. There are also striking differences in housing and work; Daintree has a far higher share of homes owned outright (51.4%) and more large houses with three or more bedrooms (82.9%). In contrast, Newell is more likely to have residents in full-time work (59.1%) and has a much lower unemployment rate, which is 0.0% compared to 13.5% in Daintree.

The gap in unemployment has widened significantly since 2011, but the two areas share several common traits. They have almost identical shares of adults with a bachelor's degree or higher (around 17%) and very similar numbers of volunteers. Both areas also lack nearby public transport and health services within walking distance. While Daintree residents have easier access to groceries and schools, Newell is almost entirely within walking distance of a park.
