Rockhampton City The Range

The Range (Qld) and Rockhampton City are neighbouring areas with very different social and economic profiles. The Range (Qld) is a wealthier area where typical household weekly incomes are $2,034, far higher than the $1,118 seen in Rockhampton City. This gap is reflected in education and housing; The Range (Qld) has far more residents with a bachelor degree or higher (28.0% compared to 13.4%) and a much higher share of separate houses (87.6% versus 61.7%). In contrast, Rockhampton City is far more rental-heavy, with 52.8% of homes rented, and is very walkable (score 7.2) compared to The Range (Qld), which is somewhat walkable (score 4.5).

These two areas have tracked differently over time, with the gap in typical household income widening. Despite this, they share several similarities, such as having almost the same proportion of people born overseas (around 13%) and a nearly identical share of residents aged 65 and over. Both areas also have no public transport stops or departures per 1,000 people, and almost every home in both places is within a 10-minute walk of a park.
