Callide Rockhampton

Rockhampton and Callide are both Queensland areas with similar population sizes, but they differ sharply in how people live and get around. Rockhampton is a somewhat walkable area where 94% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park and 71.4% are near groceries. In contrast, Callide is mostly car-dependent, with only 41% of homes near a park and 27.9% near groceries. These differences extend to education and health; Rockhampton has a much larger typical school size of 494 compared to Callide's 141, while Rockhampton also has a higher share of people with mental health conditions (11.6% versus 8.5%) and long-term health conditions (33.1% versus 28.8%).

Both areas are effectively alike in their typical household incomes, which sit around $1,400 a week. They also share a similar proportion of children under 15 and a nearly identical share of people born overseas. While Callide was once much older, the gap in typical age has narrowed since 2011 to just four years. At the same time, the gap in educational attainment has also shrunk, with Rockhampton's lead in bachelor degrees and Year 12 completion falling since 2011.
