Biloela Bundaberg

Bundaberg and Biloela are two distinct Queensland areas with very different profiles. Bundaberg is much older, with a typical resident aged 47 compared to 38 in Biloela. This older population is reflected in health data, where 37.2% of Bundaberg residents have a long-term health condition, 12 percentage points higher than Biloela. Biloela is more prosperous, with a typical weekly household income of $1,766, while Bundaberg is much lower at $1,170. Bundaberg also has far more public transport options and better walkability, with 59% of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop compared to none in Biloela.

The age gap between the two areas has widened since 2016, growing from eight to nine years. Despite this, they share some similarities, such as having almost identical shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (around 5%) and the same typical monthly home-loan payment of $1,300. Both areas also see a very small share of people commuting by public transport, at 0.7%.
