Gladstone Mount Larcom

Gladstone (Qld) and Mount Larcom (L) are nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Gladstone (Qld) is much larger and younger, with a typical resident aged 35 and a higher proportion of adults with a bachelor degree (13.2%) or who completed Year 12 (48.2%). In contrast, residents in Mount Larcom (L) are far older, with a typical age of 46, and far fewer adults finished Year 12 (21.6%) or hold a degree (1.5%). Homes in Gladstone (Qld) are more likely to be rented (41.6%) and larger, while Mount Larcom (L) has far more detached houses and a higher share of homes owned outright (38.5%).

Since 2011, the two areas have seen several gaps narrow, including the difference in typical age and the amount of weekly household income. They do share some common ground, such as very similar rates of full-time employment and an almost identical share of people in de facto relationships. However, other divides have grown, with Gladstone (Qld) becoming more distinct in its higher share of recent arrivals and its far better access to public transport and groceries.
