Bundaberg West Norville

Bundaberg West and Norville are neighbouring areas with similar population sizes, but they differ sharply in housing and layout. Bundaberg West is a walker's paradise with a high share of renters (62.1%) and many more townhouses and apartments. In contrast, Norville is dominated by separate houses, with 89.3% of homes being detached and 38.4% owned outright. Bundaberg West is also more diverse; 21.3% of residents were born overseas compared to 9.7% in Norville, and it has a much higher share of recent arrivals from other countries.

Both areas are almost identical in their typical weekly personal income, which sits around $600. They also share similar proportions of children under 15 and people with no religion. While both are higher than the national figure for people with long-term health conditions, this is slightly more common in Norville. Bundaberg West remains much more accessible on foot, as every home there is within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services, while only about half of Norville homes have the same access.
