Pittsworth Scrubby Mountain

Pittsworth and Scrubby Mountain are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different profiles. Pittsworth is a more walkable hub where 26.1% of people are aged 65 and over, and 33.5% have a long-term health condition. In contrast, Scrubby Mountain is car-dependent with much higher incomes; the typical household earns $2,083 a week, which is far higher than the $1,290 typical in Pittsworth. Scrubby Mountain also has a higher share of people earning $2,000 or more a week (16.0% compared to 5.8% in Pittsworth) and a higher proportion of adults working or looking for work (71.3% versus 55.0%).

The gap in typical household income is widening, as the two areas have moved further apart since 2011. Despite this, they share similar rates of full-time employment and nearly identical shares of people born overseas. They also both have very low use of public transport, with almost no one commuting by bus or train.
