Glenella North Mackay

North Mackay and Glenella are neighbouring areas with very different lifestyles. North Mackay is a very walkable area where many people live alone or in one-parent families. It has a much higher share of renters, with 36.6% of households renting, and a typical weekly income of $1,375. In contrast, Glenella is mostly car-dependent and has more large, detached houses, with 95.1% of homes having three or more bedrooms. It is a wealthier area where the typical household income is far higher at $2,535, and 36.1% of households earn $3,000 or more each week.

Both areas have followed similar paths since 2011, remaining distinct in their layout and demographics. They share some common ground, such as having similar numbers of people who provide unpaid care or speak little or no English.
