Bundamba Lockyer

Lockyer and Bundamba are distinct Queensland regions with very different characters. Lockyer is a car-dependent area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 39 compared to 30 in Bundamba. It is more likely that people here own their homes outright (32.9%) and use only English at home. In contrast, Bundamba is somewhat walkable and much more diverse; 28.1% of people were born overseas and 20.3% use a language other than English at home. Bundamba also has a far higher share of renters at 47.8% and a much younger population, with children under 15 making up 26.1% of residents.

Both areas are very similar when it comes to the typical weekly household income, which sits around $1,500. They also share a similar proportion of people with a bachelor degree or higher. While they are alike in these areas, other gaps have grown since 2011. The difference in the typical age of residents has widened from five to nine years, and the gap in overseas birth rates has increased significantly.
