Gooburrum Oakwood

Gooburrum and Oakwood (Qld) are neighbouring areas with very different household profiles. Gooburrum has a larger population and more typical houses, with 99.2% being separate dwellings and 96.0% having three or more bedrooms. It is also wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $1,684 compared to just $780 in Oakwood (Qld). In contrast, Oakwood (Qld) is far older, with a typical resident aged 60 and 40.1% of people aged 65 and over. This older population is consistent with a much higher share of people living alone (40.0%) and more homes owned outright (68.2%).

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people born overseas, around 10%. They also share similar proportions of First Nations residents and very few people who commute by public transport. While Gooburrum is more likely to have adults working or looking for work, Oakwood (Qld) has a far higher number of schools per 1,000 children. Across the board, the gap in typical weekly household income remains a significant divide between these two neighbours.
