Gladstone North Burnett

Gladstone and North Burnett are two Queensland regions with very different social and economic profiles. Gladstone is much younger and wealthier, with a typical resident aged 38 and a typical weekly household income of $1,639. In contrast, North Burnett is far older, with a typical age of 49 and a typical weekly income that is much lower at $1,021. These differences extend to housing and belief; homes are far more likely to be owned outright in North Burnett, while residents in Gladstone are far more likely to report having no religion.

Both areas share a very similar proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, at around 6% to 7%. While they are alike in this regard, other gaps are shifting. The age difference has widened since 2011, and recent overseas arrivals are now far more common in North Burnett. At the same time, the gap in typical weekly incomes has narrowed, although Gladstone remains far higher than North Burnett.
