Menzies Pioneer

Pioneer (Qld) and Menzies (Qld) are neighbouring areas with very different social and housing profiles. Pioneer (Qld) has a much larger First Nations population (46.0% compared to 16.6% in Menzies (Qld)) and far more children under 15 (29.5% versus 18.8%). These factors are consistent with the higher share of one-parent families and larger homes in Pioneer (Qld), where 73.7% of dwellings have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Menzies (Qld) is more diverse and academic; it has far more people born overseas (27.3%) and a much higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (19.9% versus 6.7% in Pioneer (Qld)).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people living alone, with Pioneer (Qld) at 25.1% and Menzies (Qld) at 38.9%. They also share a similar environment, as almost every home in both places is within a 15-minute walk of a park or school.
