Livingstone North Burnett

Livingstone and North Burnett are two Queensland regions with distinct economic and social profiles. Livingstone is more affluent, with 20% of households earning $3,000 or more per week compared to 8.1% in North Burnett. This is reflected in housing costs, as the typical weekly rent in Livingstone is far higher at $350, while North Burnett's is $200. Educational attainment is also higher in Livingstone, where 44.9% of residents finished Year 12, compared to 34.7% in North Burnett.

Everyday life shares many commonalities, as both areas have about 10% of their people born overseas and an equal number of schools. However, some gaps are widening; for example, the difference in the typical age of residents has grown to six years, with North Burnett being the older of the two. While North Burnett has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 27%, Livingstone's typical home-loan payment of $1,733 remains far higher than the $1,000 seen in North Burnett.
