King Scrub Rocksberg

King Scrub and Rocksberg are neighbouring areas in Queensland that differ sharply in age and income. King Scrub is a younger place where 24.0% of people are children, compared to just 12.6% in Rocksberg. Residents in King Scrub generally have higher qualifications and incomes; the typical weekly household income is $2,895, which is far higher than the $1,805 seen in Rocksberg. This wealth and a higher share of professionals help explain why King Scrub has more people working or looking for work (69.0% versus 56.6%) and more adults with bachelor degrees (29.6% versus 11.2%).

Everyday life in both areas is shaped by a heavy reliance on cars, as both are car-dependent with no public transport stops.
