Bundaberg East Kalkie

Kalkie and Bundaberg East are neighbouring areas with similar populations, but they offer very different lifestyles. Kalkie is a more affluent residential area where the typical household income is $1,599 a week, far higher than the $1,080 seen in Bundaberg East. It has more large family homes, with 90.7% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Bundaberg East is very walkable and has a much higher share of people living alone (34.0%) and renters (39.3%).

These two areas have tracked closely on several measures, such as the share of residents aged 65 and over. However, the gap in walkability remains a stark contrast; Bundaberg East is very walkable, while Kalkie is only somewhat walkable.
