Biloela Gladstone Hinterland

Gladstone Hinterland and Biloela are two Queensland areas with very different layouts. Biloela is a more concentrated hub where 59.2% of homes are in a 15-minute-city walkshed, whereas the Gladstone Hinterland is car-dependent and sparsely populated. Biloela has far more renters at 38.7% and a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 33.8%. In contrast, Gladstone Hinterland has far more people who identify as having no religion (44.5% compared to 30.0% in Biloela) and higher access to money and resources.

Both areas are very similar in their typical weekly household incomes, which sit just under $2,000. This shared economic profile exists alongside growing gaps in other areas. Since 2016, the difference in the share of renters and recent overseas arrivals has widened, as has the gap between the two in the share of people living alone.
