Berserker Emu Park

Berserker and Emu Park are nearby Queensland areas with very different characters. Berserker is a younger area where the typical resident is 35, and it is far more welcoming to new arrivals from overseas (18.6% compared to 3.5% in Emu Park). It is also much more walkable, with 86.3% of homes having a 15-minute-city walkshed, while Emu Park is car-dependent. In contrast, Emu Park is much older, with a typical age of 49 and a far higher share of seniors (27.8%). Housing also differs; homes in Emu Park are more likely to be owned outright (41.5%) and have three or more bedrooms (79.2%), while renting is far more common in Berserker (41.9%).

Everyday life in both places shares several similarities, including nearly identical typical household incomes of around $1,200 a week and the same average number of people per home. Both areas also lack local public transport options. While they share these basics, the gap in home ownership and the share of older residents has widened since 2011.
