Burdekin Gregory

Burdekin and Gregory are both expansive areas in Queensland, though they differ in their demographics and layouts. Gregory is more child-centric, with 22.2% of its people under 15 compared to 18.9% in Burdekin. Burdekin has a higher share of seniors, with 15.6% aged 65 and over, and a higher proportion of recent overseas arrivals at 21.7% compared to Gregory's 17.5%. Residents in Gregory also have a better local layout, as 46.5% of homes are in a 15-minute-city walkshed, well higher than the 34.0% in Burdekin.

These two places share very similar typical weekly household incomes, around $1,800, and a similar proportion of people born overseas. Their shared experience of rural life is evident in their nearly identical lack of public transport. While they share these commonalities, some gaps are shifting; for example, the difference in the share of people aged 65 and over has narrowed significantly since 2011.
