Mundubbera Mount Perry

Mundubbera and Mount Perry (L) are two Queensland towns located about 57 km apart, yet they have very different profiles. Mundubbera is a younger, more diverse hub where 26.9% of people were born overseas and 24.1% use a language other than English at home. It is also more walkable, with a score of 5.1 (somewhat walkable), and has a more active workforce with 58.1% of adults working or looking for work. In contrast, Mount Perry (L) has a much older population, with a typical age of 53 and a far higher share of people aged 65 and over (32.4%). It is more car-dependent, with a walkability score of 2.7 (mostly car-dependent), and has a much higher unemployment rate of 21.0%.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher, at around 10%. This common ground exists alongside shifting trends; for example, the gap in typical household income has narrowed since 2011, though it remains well higher in Mundubbera at $1,218 compared to $933 in Mount Perry (L). While Mundubbera has seen its share of recent overseas arrivals grow far above Mount Perry (L), both towns maintain similar average home sizes of 2.3 people.
