Cherbourg South Burnett

South Burnett and Cherbourg are nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Cherbourg is a young community where 35.1% of residents are children and the typical age is just 23. It has a very high First Nations population of 96.4%, while South Burnett is much older, with a typical age of 48 and 26.4% of people aged 65 and over. Home ownership also differs sharply; 43.2% of South Burnett residents own their homes outright, whereas 99% of households in Cherbourg rent.

The gap in typical ages has widened over the last decade, growing from 20 years to 25 years. Despite this, the two areas share some commonalities, such as having almost no access to public transport and very similar average temperatures. Both areas also have a similar share of people who speak a language other than English at home, and they both sit well below the national figure for typical weekly family incomes.
