Norman Gardens Rockyview

Norman Gardens and Rockyview are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different profiles. Norman Gardens is more transient and diverse, with 19.5% of people arriving from overseas recently and 13.7% using another language at home. It is also more walkable, with a score of 3.4 (mostly car-dependent), whereas Rockyview is 0.2 (car-dependent). In contrast, Rockyview is wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,897 compared to $1,770 in Norman Gardens. Rockyview also has a higher rate of home ownership and larger houses, with 99.4% of homes having three or more bedrooms.

Both areas are very similar in the proportion of people in de facto relationships. This shared social characteristic exists alongside a stark divide in housing and infrastructure; renting is far more common in Norman Gardens, while Rockyview is dominated by detached houses. The gap in First Nations outcomes is also significant, as Rockyview has far higher Year 12 completion rates and a much lower unemployment rate for First Nations people. These two areas remain distinct in their layout, with Norman Gardens offering far more access to schools, parks, and health services within a 15-minute walk.
