Gladstone Woorabinda

Gladstone and Woorabinda are two Queensland areas with very different profiles. Woorabinda has a much larger First Nations population at 91.6%, compared to 6.2% in Gladstone. This is reflected in a much younger population, where the typical resident in Woorabinda is 23, while the typical resident in Gladstone is 15 years older at 38. Financial gaps are also significant; the typical weekly household income in Gladstone is $1,639, which is far higher than the $684 seen in Woorabinda.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions regarding their demographics and housing. While the gap in First Nations population has narrowed, the difference in typical age has widened. At the same time, the gap in household income has grown. Despite these shifts, both areas remain mostly car-dependent and have similar rates of people living alone, each at around 25%.
