Mount Morgan vs Rockhampton City

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 38 km apart · Mount Morgan profile · Rockhampton City profile

Mount Morgan Rockhampton City

Rockhampton City and Mount Morgan are two nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Rockhampton City is a very walkable hub where 43.9% of homes are rented and 21.4% of residents arrived recently from overseas. In contrast, Mount Morgan is mostly car-dependent and much older, with a typical resident aged 53 and 28.7% of people aged 65 and over. Mount Morgan has a much higher rate of outright home ownership at 49.3%, while Rockhampton City has far more one-parent families at 34.2%.

Many of the gaps between these two places have widened since 2011. This is seen in the age difference, which grew from 8 to 12 years, and the home ownership gap, which is now 22.3 points. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain similar in other ways. They have almost identical numbers of First Nations people, the same typical number of people per home, and very few residents who speak little or no English.
