Burdekin Oonoonba

Burdekin and Oonoonba are two very different Queensland areas located about 72 km apart. Burdekin is a much older place, with a typical resident aged 47 and 23.6% of the population aged 65 or over. Many residents here own their homes outright (46.9%) and a large share work in agriculture, forestry and fishing. In contrast, Oonoonba is much younger, with a typical age of 32. It has a more qualified workforce, with 26.4% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, and a higher share of residents who have served in the Defence Force (13.7%).

Both areas have an unemployment rate that sits close to the national figure. They also share similar levels of First Nations residents and very few people who speak little or no English. However, the gaps between them are often widening. The age difference has grown since 2011, as has the gap in home ownership and university qualifications. Oonoonba remains far more mobile, with 52.7% of people moving in the last five years, while Burdekin is much more stable.
