Gooburrum Millbank

Millbank (Qld) and Gooburrum are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Millbank (Qld) is a more urban setting, described as somewhat walkable, where 36.6% of homes are rented and the typical weekly household income is $997. In contrast, Gooburrum is car-dependent and more affluent, with typical weekly incomes of $1,684 and a high share of homes owned outright at 52.4%. The two areas also differ in their housing; Gooburrum has far more separate houses and larger homes, while Millbank (Qld) has more one-parent families and people living alone.

Both areas have a similar share of children under 15, which sits around 15%, close to the national figure. They also share a similar proportion of people who have served in the Defence Force and nearly identical rates of full-time employment. While the two places are similar in these ways, the gap in their walkability and access to services remains stark, as Millbank (Qld) continues to have far more public transport stops and parks within walking distance.
