Pittsworth Gowrie

Gowrie (Qld) and Pittsworth are two nearby rural areas with very different profiles. Gowrie (Qld) is a fast-growing area where more people are working or looking for work (71.1% compared to 59.5% in Pittsworth) and a higher share of adults have finished Year 12 (51.4% versus 41.0%). It is also a younger place, with a much higher share of children under 15 (26.1%) and far fewer people aged 65 and over (10.8%) than Pittsworth, where 21.7% of residents are seniors. While Pittsworth has more schools and better access to groceries and health services within a 15-minute walk, Gowrie (Qld) has a higher proportion of large homes, with 96.1% having three or more bedrooms.

Both areas are very similar in their lack of public transport and have nearly identical shares of people born overseas.

Over time, some gaps are widening; the difference in age and the share of people with no religion are both more pronounced now than they were in 2011.
