Glastonbury Scrubby Creek

Glastonbury and Scrubby Creek (Gympie - Qld) are neighbouring rural areas with very different populations. Glastonbury is more family-oriented, with 17.3% of residents being children under 15 compared to just 4.8% in Scrubby Creek (Gympie - Qld). This younger age profile is consistent with Glastonbury having far more large homes, with 81.8% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Scrubby Creek (Gympie - Qld) has a much older population, with a typical age of 52, and a higher share of people born overseas (19.4%) and those with bachelor degrees (17.0%).

These two places share a similar daily reality, with almost identical typical weekly incomes, the same 119-minute drive to the city, and a total absence of public transport. However, the gaps between them are shifting in several areas. While they both have a higher share of people with no religion than the national figure, the difference in their unemployment rates is striking, with Scrubby Creek (Gympie - Qld) sitting far higher at 19.4% compared to 3.8% in Glastonbury.
