Burnside Nambour

Nambour and Burnside (Qld) are neighbouring areas with very different housing and lifestyle patterns. Nambour is a very walkable hub where 75.9% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 38% of households rent. In contrast, Burnside (Qld) is mostly car-dependent, with a far higher share of separate houses (88.1%) and larger homes; 84.7% of its dwellings have three or more bedrooms. Burnside (Qld) also has a higher typical weekly household income of $1,626, compared to $1,224 in Nambour.

Both areas share similar proportions of volunteers and residents aged 65 and over. However, the divide in how people live is stark, with Nambour having a far higher share of people living alone (32.8% compared to 19.9% in Burnside (Qld)). This gap in household composition is part of a wider contrast in living standards and accessibility, as Nambour's typical resident is noticeably older and more likely to report a long-term health condition than those in Burnside (Qld).
