Brisbane Kingaroy

Brisbane and Kingaroy are two very different Queensland areas, separated by about 174 km. Brisbane is much more diverse and highly qualified, with 27.6% of people born overseas and 27.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. It is also very walkable (6.3), with 84.9% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Kingaroy is mostly car-dependent (3.5) and more traditional, where 86.2% of homes are separate houses. It has a higher share of people aged 65 and over (21.2%) and a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (6.2%).

While these two areas have a similar share of children under 15 and nearly the same unemployment rates, the gap in people working from home has widened since 2011. This trend is consistent with the broader differences in their workforces; 17.6% of people in Brisbane work from home, compared to just 3.9% in Kingaroy. Typical weekly household incomes also differ significantly, with Brisbane's usual income of $1,870 being well higher than the $1,257 found in Kingaroy.
