Bundaberg South Kepnock

Kepnock and Bundaberg South are neighbouring areas with very different housing and street layouts. Kepnock is a more established-feeling area where detached houses are far more common (85.7%) and homes are larger, with 81.6% having three or more bedrooms. Bundaberg South is more compact and renter-heavy, with 58.9% of households renting compared to 32.6% in Kepnock. The two areas also differ in accessibility; Bundaberg South is a walker's paradise with 84.8% of homes within 15 minutes of health services, while Kepnock is only somewhat walkable and has just 0.8% of homes near those services.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, sharing a typical weekly personal income of around $600 and nearly identical proportions of full-time employment. They are also alike in the number of First Nations residents and the same low rate of public transport commuting. While they share these economic basics, Bundaberg South has a younger feel with more recent overseas arrivals (30.4%) and a higher share of people using a language other than English at home (12.0%).
