Gympie Tamaree

Gympie and Tamaree are neighbouring Queensland areas with very different characters. Gympie is a larger, more urban centre where 37.5% of households rent and 34.7% of people live alone. It is a somewhat walkable area where most residents are within a 15-minute walk of a park or school. In contrast, Tamaree is a car-dependent area dominated by larger detached houses, with 88.5% of homes having three or more bedrooms. There are also significant differences in First Nations outcomes; for example, typical household income is far higher in Tamaree ($2,124) than in Gympie ($1,133).

Both areas are similar in their proportion of people born overseas, which sits around 10% to 11% and is close to the national figure. This commonality exists alongside different trends in employment and age. A higher share of adults are working or looking for work in Tamaree (58.7%) compared to Gympie (47.9%). Gympie also has a notably older population, with people aged 65 and over making up 24.1% of its residents, while the share in Tamaree is much lower at 15.6%.
