Banana South Burnett

South Burnett and Banana are two regional Queensland areas with very different demographics and economies. South Burnett is a much older community, where the typical resident is 48 and 26.4% of people are aged 65 or over. In contrast, the typical person in Banana is 38. This age gap helps explain why South Burnett has a much higher rate of long-term health conditions and a higher share of homes owned outright (43.2%). Banana is wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $1,766, which is far higher than the $1,045 seen in South Burnett.

Both areas sit near the national average for overall advantage, though they operate very differently. While Banana has a higher share of working adults and recent overseas arrivals, both areas share a similar housing landscape, with about 93% of homes being separate houses and typical weekly rents around $240 to $245. Since 2011, the gaps between them have generally widened, particularly regarding the age of residents and the difference in household incomes.
