Burrum River Toogoom

Toogoom and Burrum River are neighbouring areas in Queensland with different housing and work patterns. Toogoom is more transient, with 55.5% of residents having moved in the last five years, and has a far higher rental rate at 25.1%. Burrum River is more stable, with 57.5% of homes owned outright and a far higher share of people working from home (24.6%). Toogoom is also more likely to have no religion (47.0%) and a higher proportion of people who have completed Year 12 (38.8%).

Both areas share a typical resident age of 52 and a similar typical weekly household income. They are also very similar in that almost all homes are separate houses and no one commutes by public transport. While Toogoom has a few more walkable amenities and parks, both areas generally lack local services. This lack of infrastructure is consistent across the region, with neither area having any homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services.
