Frenchville Norman Gardens

Norman Gardens and Frenchville are neighbouring areas in Rockhampton, though they offer different lifestyles. Frenchville is more walkable, with a score of 4.7 (somewhat walkable) compared to 3.4 (mostly car-dependent) in Norman Gardens. This is reflected in daily access; for example, 72.9% of Frenchville homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to 41.3% in Norman Gardens. Norman Gardens has a more diverse population, with 15.9% born overseas and 13.7% using a language other than English at home, which are both well higher than the figures in Frenchville.

These differences in diversity and accessibility are becoming more pronounced, as the gap in recent overseas arrivals has widened.
