Mirani Rockhampton

Rockhampton and Mirani are two different Queensland environments, one being a more urban hub and the other more rural. Rockhampton is more walkable (somewhat walkable) than Mirani (car-dependent), with 71.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries compared to just 19.0% in Mirani. Rockhampton also has a much higher share of renters (36.0% versus 17.8%) and more one-parent families (22.0% versus 11.2%).
