Slade Point South Mackay

South Mackay and Slade Point are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. South Mackay is a more connected hub where 92.2% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, and 16.8% of residents are recent arrivals from overseas. In contrast, Slade Point is more residential and car-reliant, with 90.4% of homes being separate houses and 81.2% having three or more bedrooms. This is a bigger gap than in 2011, when the share of larger homes was 10.7% higher in Slade Point compared to 12.7% now.

The two areas have tracked in different directions since 2011, with gaps widening for rental rates and the number of people living alone. However, they share many everyday realities, such as similar typical weekly household incomes of around $1,500 and nearly identical rates of adults with a bachelor degree. Both areas also sit near the national figure for people who have completed Year 12.
