Blackbutt South Gilla

Blackbutt South and Gilla are neighbouring Queensland areas with very different social profiles. Blackbutt South is an older community where the typical resident is 60 and 39.4% are aged 65 or over. In contrast, Gilla is younger, with a typical age of 50 and a much higher share of children under 15 (23.0% compared to 12.5% in Blackbutt South). Gilla also has higher typical weekly household incomes ($1,406 versus $833) and a much larger share of people working from home (48.1% versus 22.0%).

Both areas are almost identical in their levels of tertiary education, with around 11% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. This shared educational profile exists alongside a total lack of public transport and very few walkable amenities in both places. However, the two areas have diverged in other ways, with Gilla seeing far more recent arrivals and a higher rate of volunteering than Blackbutt South.
