Avenell Heights Thabeban

Avenell Heights and Thabeban are neighbouring areas in Bundaberg, but they offer very different levels of walkability. Avenell Heights is far more connected, with 73.6% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed and 87.9% of residents within a 15-minute walk of a school. By contrast, only 40.0% of homes in Thabeban have that same 15-minute access, and only 40.8% can walk to a school in that time. Avenell Heights also has an older population, with a typical age of 47 and 28.2% of residents aged 65 and over, while Thabeban is younger, with a typical age of 40.

These two areas share several traits, including similar typical weekly personal incomes of around $570 and nearly identical shares of First Nations residents. However, the gap in walkability is widening, as Avenell Heights has seen its access to shops and schools become far higher than in Thabeban. While both areas have more detached houses than the national figure, Thabeban has a higher share of these homes at 87.2%.
