Wallumbilla Wandoan

Wandoan (L) and Wallumbilla (L) are two small Queensland towns with very different demographics. Wandoan (L) is a younger place where the typical resident is 33, and 25.4% of the population are children under 15. In contrast, Wallumbilla (L) is far older, with a typical age of 50 and a much higher share of seniors at 26.1%. These differences extend to the housing and community; Wandoan (L) has far more renters (57.0%) and larger homes, while Wallumbilla (L) has a higher rate of outright home ownership at 44.6%. Wandoan (L) also has far more people who identify as having no religion (40.5% compared to 23.6% in Wallumbilla (L)).

The two areas have drifted further apart since 2011, particularly in age and housing. The gap in the typical age of residents has grown significantly, and the difference in rental rates has also widened. Despite this, they share several similarities, such as nearly identical typical weekly rents of around $160 and similar rates of full-time employment. Both are also very accessible to basic needs, with almost every home within a 15-minute walk of a park and a school.
