Kilcoy Gympie Surrounds

Gympie Surrounds and Kilcoy are two Queensland areas with very different profiles. Kilcoy has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 34%, compared to just 3.7% in Gympie Surrounds. This is reflected in the language spoken at home, which is well higher in Kilcoy, and a much higher share of people born overseas. Kilcoy also offers better access to local amenities on foot, with 19.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a walkable amenity, whereas only 6.1% of homes in Gympie Surrounds have that access.

Everyday life is similar in both places, with almost identical shares of children under 15 and people aged 65 and over. Typical weekly household incomes are also very close, sitting around $1,300. While they share these traits, some gaps have grown since 2011. Residents are now noticeably older in Gympie Surrounds, and the gap in the number of people born overseas and those using other languages at home has widened.
