Palm Island vs Trebonne

Urban Centre comparison ≈ 57 km apart · Palm Island profile · Trebonne profile

Palm Island Trebonne

Palm Island and Trebonne (L) are two very different Queensland locations. Palm Island is a young area where the typical resident is 26 and 91.4% of the population is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. This is reflected in a high share of children under 15 (31.4%) and a typical weekly household income of $977. In contrast, Trebonne (L) is much older, with a typical age of 59 and 43% of people aged 65 and over. Residents there are generally wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $1,762 and a much higher rate of outright home ownership at 45.2%.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have widened across almost every measure. They share a similar lack of convenience, as both are car-dependent with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or public transport. However, while Palm Island has seen its lead grow in areas like the proportion of renters and people using another language at home, Trebonne (L) has seen its lead increase in typical incomes and the number of people needing help with daily activities.
