Fraser Coast vs South Burnett

Fraser Coast and South Burnett are two large regional areas in Queensland, separated by about 130 km. Fraser Coast has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, with 5,652 people compared to 1,123 in South Burnett. It also has better access to local amenities, with 65.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, while South Burnett's figure is 48.5%. In contrast, South Burnett has a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, at 26.8% compared to 18.6% in Fraser Coast.

Both areas are almost identical in their overall walkability, as both are mostly car-dependent. They also share similar profiles in other ways, such as having nearly the same percentage of people who speak a First Nations language. While Fraser Coast has far more street intersections per square kilometre, the two areas track closely in the share of homes that have a 15-minute-city walkshed.
