Dundowran Nikenbah

Nikenbah and Dundowran are neighbouring areas in Queensland with similar populations, but they differ in their social and economic profiles. Nikenbah has a more qualified workforce, with 51.4% of residents completing Year 12 compared to 40.6% in Dundowran. This is reflected in the household incomes, where 20.5% of Nikenbah homes earn $3,000 or more a week, far higher than the 9.9% in Dundowran. Nikenbah also has a more prominent First Nations presence, with 15.7% of people speaking a First Nations language and a much higher rate of Year 12 completion among First Nations residents.

These two areas have moved further apart in terms of how many people have recently arrived, with a gap of 25 percentage points as 71.6% of Nikenbah residents moved in the last five years. Despite this, they share a similar mix of families and a high proportion of children under 15.
