Bundaberg East Woongarra

Bundaberg East and Woongarra are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Bundaberg East is more densely populated, with a typical weekly household income of $1,080, compared to $2,010 in Woongarra. It has a much higher share of renters (39.3% versus 18.2%) and one-parent families (24.7% versus 13.7%). Woongarra is more affluent and spacious, with 92.4% of homes having three or more bedrooms and a much higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (21.2% versus 10.1%).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, and they share many traits today. They have almost identical rates of people born overseas, the use of other languages at home, and volunteers. They also share similar typical weekly rents and health profiles. This consistency exists alongside a sharp contrast in accessibility; Bundaberg East is highly walkable with most homes near parks and shops, while Woongarra is far more car-dependent, with almost no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services.
