Degarra vs Lakeland

Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 51 km apart · Degarra profile · Lakeland profile

Degarra Lakeland

Lakeland and Degarra are both small Queensland areas, though they differ significantly in their populations. Degarra has a far higher proportion of First Nations residents at 52.5%, compared to 8.7% in Lakeland. The two areas also have very different age profiles; residents are far older in Degarra, where the typical age is 51, while Lakeland is much younger with a typical age of 34. This is reflected in the home lives of residents, with one-parent families far more common in Degarra (53.6%) and couples with children more common in Lakeland (55.1%).

Both areas are alike in that about a third of people use a language other than English at home. They also share a lack of walkable amenities, as no homes in either place are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or public transport. However, the economic gap between them is wide, with typical household incomes far higher in Lakeland ($1,640) than in Degarra ($849). This is consistent with a higher share of adults working or looking for work in Lakeland.
