Berserker Port Curtis

Berserker and Port Curtis are neighbouring areas in Rockhampton with very different layouts. Berserker is a more populated hub where 42.0% of homes are rented and most people live within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. In contrast, Port Curtis is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a much higher share of detached houses (93.5%) and a higher proportion of households earning $3,000 or more a week (18.7% compared to 8.4% in Berserker).

These two areas are remarkably similar in their typical weekly incomes, which both sit around $1,160. They also share nearly identical figures for the number of people per home and the share of one-parent families. While Berserker is younger and more diverse, with a higher share of people born overseas, Port Curtis has a noticeably older typical resident at 41 years.
