Brookhill Nome

Nome and Brookhill are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different profiles. Nome has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 52 and 26.8% of people aged 65 and over. It is also an area where homes are more likely to be owned outright, at 49.9%. In contrast, Brookhill is younger and more focused on families, with a far higher share of children under 15 (19.3%) and a higher proportion of large homes, with 84.8% having three or more bedrooms.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who earn $2,000 or more a week, at 8.6%. They are also alike in that both are car-dependent and have almost no residents who use public transport to commute. However, the two areas differ in their workforce and incomes, as adults are far more likely to be working or looking for work in Brookhill (77.1% compared to 56.0% in Nome) and the typical weekly household income is well higher there at $2,062.
