Bundaberg vs Warwick

Urban Area comparison ≈ 376 km apart · Bundaberg profile · Warwick profile

Bundaberg Warwick

Bundaberg and Warwick are both regional Queensland centres, but they offer very different levels of accessibility. Bundaberg is somewhat walkable, with 55.4% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed and 78% within a short walk of public transport. Warwick is mostly car-dependent, with no homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. Bundaberg is also more diverse, with a well higher share of people born overseas (13.1%) and a higher proportion of recent arrivals from overseas (15.5%).

Both areas share very similar typical weekly personal incomes, which sit at $617 in Bundaberg and $618 in Warwick. They are also alike in the share of people aged 65 and over and the proportion of people who have finished Year 12. While Bundaberg remains more walkable, some gaps are closing; the difference in the share of people born overseas has narrowed since 2011, and the gap in the proportion of detached houses has also shrunk.
