Bundaberg Callide

Callide and Bundaberg are two distinct Queensland areas with very different layouts. Bundaberg is much more developed, with a walkability score of 5.7 (somewhat walkable) compared to 2.0 (mostly car-dependent) in Callide. This is seen in the daily basics: 74.4% of Bundaberg homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while only 27.9% of homes in Callide are. Callide is more rural, with a far higher share of separate houses at 91.8%. It also has more schools per 1,000 children (5.64) and a higher share of high earners, with 14.3% of households earning $3,000 or more a week.

The gap in the number of older residents has widened since 2011, with 24.4% of people in Bundaberg now aged 65 and over compared to 19.3% in Callide. Despite this shift, both areas share a similar proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (about 6%) and nearly identical typical monthly mortgage payments of around $1,300. While Bundaberg has more public transport and health services, Callide has a much higher rate of volunteering at 20.3%.
