Burdekin Warrego

Burdekin and Warrego are both large regional areas in Queensland, though they differ significantly in wealth and demographics. Burdekin has a typical weekly household income of $1,768, which is well higher than the $1,389 seen in Warrego. Burdekin also has a higher share of people born overseas (10.4% compared to 7.3%) and more recent arrivals from overseas (21.7% versus 16.3%). In contrast, Warrego has a well higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people at 11.4%, compared to 6.7% in Burdekin.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining very alike in several key ways. They share a similar typical weekly rent of $220 and almost identical numbers of people per home. They also both lack public transport, with no routes or stops serving either area. This shared reliance on cars is consistent across both regions, where the typical age of residents sits around 38 to 39 years.
