Gladstone Mirani

Gladstone and Mirani are two Queensland areas with similar population sizes but very different layouts. Gladstone is more urban and somewhat walkable, with 44.1% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed and 74% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Mirani is car-dependent, with only 16.9% of homes in a walkable area. Housing also differs sharply; 36.7% of Gladstone households rent, while Mirani has a much higher share of homes owned outright at 36.4%. Gladstone is also more mobile and diverse, with 43% of people moving there in the last five years and 14% born overseas.

These two areas are most alike in their finances and health, with almost identical typical weekly household incomes and similar rates of long-term health conditions. While they share these basics, they have drifted apart in other ways since 2011. The gap in home ownership has widened, and Gladstone has become far more likely to have residents with no religion compared to Mirani. Gladstone's lead in overseas-born residents and those using other languages at home has also grown over the last decade.
