Burke Doomadgee

Doomadgee and Burke are two Queensland areas with very different social profiles. Doomadgee has a much younger population, with a typical resident aged 25 and 31.4% of people under 15. It also has a far higher First Nations population at 89.3% and a high share of renters at 90.9%. In contrast, Burke is older, with a typical age of 35, and has a typical weekly family income of $2,125, which is far higher than the $882 seen in Doomadgee.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have shifted in various ways, though they still share a similar climate and low use of public transport. The gap in First Nations population and the age difference have both narrowed over time. However, other divides have grown, such as the gap in home ownership and the difference in typical family incomes. While Doomadgee's typical personal income is $354, which is far below the national figure, Burke's typical personal income is $884, sitting slightly above the national average.
