Gunnewin Highland Plains

Gunnewin and Highland Plains (Maranoa - Qld) are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. Gunnewin is noticeably wealthier, with a typical weekly family income of $2,700, which is far higher than the $725 seen in Highland Plains (Maranoa - Qld). This gap extends to typical personal incomes, which are far higher in Gunnewin at $1,375 compared to $374 in Highland Plains (Maranoa - Qld). Residents in Gunnewin are also noticeably older, with a typical age of 52 compared to 48 in Highland Plains (Maranoa - Qld).

Both areas are entirely car-dependent, with neither place offering any walkable amenities or public transport.

While they share these basic living patterns, the gap in income between the two nearby areas remains very large.
