Berserker The Common

Berserker and The Common are neighbouring areas in Rockhampton, though they differ greatly in scale. Berserker is a populated residential hub where the typical resident is 35, making it noticeably younger than the national figure. In contrast, The Common is sparsely populated with just 4 people, and its typical resident is far older at 53. The two areas also differ in accessibility; Berserker is somewhat walkable with 86.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a city centre, while The Common is mostly car-dependent with only 27.8% of homes sharing that access.

Both areas have almost identical typical family incomes of around $1,500 per week. While they share similar family earnings, other economic and social gaps remain. Typical weekly income is well higher in The Common, and Berserker has a far larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population. Rent is also well higher in Berserker, which is consistent with its higher density of people per bedroom.
