Murgon Tablelands

Murgon and Tablelands (South Burnett - Qld) are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different layouts. Murgon is a larger, somewhat walkable hub where 83.5% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park and 80.7% are near a school. Tablelands (South Burnett - Qld) is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with far more residents holding bachelor degrees (21.0% compared to 8.1% in Murgon) and a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (20.9% versus 7.1%). Murgon has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 15.9%, while Tablelands (South Burnett - Qld) has none.

Both areas are very similar in the age of their older residents, with about 28% of the population aged 65 and over. They also share a similar level of mobility, as roughly 37% of people in both places moved house in the last five years. While Tablelands (South Burnett - Qld) has a higher proportion of adults working or looking for work at 64.0%, Murgon's workforce is much smaller at 43.1%, which is far below the national figure.
