Dickson Hinkler

Dickson and Hinkler are two Queensland areas with very different profiles. Dickson is a wealthier area where the typical household earns $2,059 a week, compared to $1,123 in Hinkler. It is also more educated, with 23.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, whereas Hinkler is at 12.3%. This higher earning capacity is consistent with a larger share of people working or looking for work in Dickson (67.3%) and more people working from home (17.9% compared to 6.3% in Hinkler).

Everyday life shares some common ground, as both areas have similar rates of people in de facto relationships and roughly the same share of adults who served in the Defence Force. However, the age gap between them is widening; Hinkler is far older, with a typical resident aged 49 and 28.6% of the population aged 65 or over. In contrast, Dickson is younger, with more children and a larger share of people caring for them unpaid.
