Gin Gin St Kilda

Gin Gin (Qld) and St Kilda (Qld) are neighbouring areas with very different living patterns. Gin Gin (Qld) is more developed and accessible, with a walkability score of 3.7 (mostly car-dependent) and many residents within walking distance of shops and health services. It also has a more transient and diverse population, with 39.1% of people moving in the last five years and 16.8% born overseas. In contrast, St Kilda (Qld) is a sparsely populated area where every home is a separate house and the typical resident is more likely to own their home outright (52.8%).

These two places share a similar proportion of First Nations people and very similar typical weekly personal incomes, around $450 to $480. However, the gap in housing and lifestyle is widening, with Gin Gin (Qld) seeing far more people living alone (34.9%) and renting (33.2%) compared to St Kilda (Qld). While both areas are largely without public transport, Gin Gin (Qld) maintains a much higher rate of full-time employment at 58.1%.
