Pie Creek Southside

Southside and Pie Creek are neighbouring areas in Gympie with very different housing and transport profiles. Southside is more urban, with 29.2% of households renting, and it is mostly car-dependent, though it is far more walkable than its neighbour. In contrast, Pie Creek is almost entirely made up of separate houses (100.0%) and is strictly car-dependent, with no public transport stops or shops within a 15-minute walk. There are also notable social differences; Southside has a much higher share of one-parent families (18.6% compared to 8.1%) and a higher proportion of people living alone.

These differences are sharpest among First Nations residents, where the typical age in Southside is 21, while in Pie Creek it is far older at 55. This gap in First Nations age has widened over time. However, the two areas share a similar overall typical resident age of 46 and have almost identical rates of people using other languages at home. Both areas also sit well above the national figure for the proportion of people aged 65 and over.
