Bucasia Eimeo

Bucasia and Eimeo are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different levels of accessibility. Bucasia is far more connected to public transport, with 18 stops compared to just 2 in Eimeo, and 89% of its homes are within a 10-minute walk of a stop. This makes Bucasia much more walkable, as 27% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, while only 3% do in Eimeo. Eimeo tends to be wealthier, with 27.9% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 21% in Bucasia, and a higher share of residents holding a bachelor degree or higher (16.2% versus 12%).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining much more mobile than other regions with over 40% of residents moving in the last five years. They share a very similar demographic profile, including nearly identical shares of children under 15 and people aged 65 and over. While both areas have a higher share of people with no religion than the national figure, this is even more pronounced in Bucasia at 48.2%.
