Berserker Gracemere

Gracemere and Berserker are two nearby areas in Rockhampton with very different layouts. Gracemere is a more affluent, car-dependent area where 96% of homes are separate houses and 92.6% have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Berserker is more compact and somewhat walkable, with a much higher share of people living alone (35%) and far more schools per 1,000 children. The typical weekly household income in Gracemere is also well higher at $1,713, compared to $1,172 in Berserker.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, including nearly identical shares of First Nations residents (around 11%) and adults with a bachelor degree (about 9%). They also have similar rates of volunteering and a similar number of schools. While Gracemere has seen its lead in typical income widen since 2011, the gap in the number of people living alone has narrowed slightly over the same period.
