Munbura Sarina

Sarina and Munbura are nearby areas in Queensland, but they differ in size and makeup. Sarina is a larger town where the typical resident is 40, while Munbura is sparsely populated with an older typical resident aged 49. Munbura has a much higher share of people with bachelor degrees (17.9% compared to 6.0% in Sarina) and a larger share of high-earning households making $3,000 or more a week (35.5% versus 18.3%). Sarina has more people without a religion (37.4% compared to 19.1% in Munbura) and a higher proportion of adults caring for children unpaid.

Both areas are very similar in their low share of people who speak little or no English and a similar percentage of people living alone. This commonality exists alongside a divide in accessibility; Sarina is mostly car-dependent but has some walkable shops, health services and parks, whereas Munbura is completely car-dependent with no such amenities within walking distance. Since 2011, the gap in how many people have moved into the area in the last five years has widened, with Sarina now far higher at 30.3% compared to 17.9% in Munbura.
