Brookstead Pampas

Brookstead and Pampas are neighbouring rural areas in Queensland, but they differ in their workforce and wealth. Brookstead has a higher share of high earners, with 26.7% of households making $3,000 or more a week, while Pampas has none. This contrast extends to education and health; Pampas has a much higher share of adults with bachelor degrees (18.5% compared to 7.5% in Brookstead) and far more people living with mental health or long-term health conditions. First Nations residents in Brookstead are much older and earn a typical weekly income that is $1,550 higher than those in Pampas.

These two areas share a very similar everyday experience, from their typical weekly personal incomes of around $810 to $857, to the fact that no one uses public transport to get to work. Both are car-dependent and sit about 125 minutes from the city. While they track closely in these basics, some gaps have widened, such as the number of people moving into the areas, which is now 13 percentage points higher in Pampas.
