Ipswich

1,078 km²

A much larger First Nations population than most similar areas defines the city of Ipswich. This Queensland hub is a place of contrast, where many homes are within easy reach of parks and schools but far fewer have quick access to health services. It is a diverse community where young people are more likely to finish school than the national average. The city's layout makes it somewhat walkable, though it lacks the level of amenity found across the state.
