Urban Centre comparison ≈ 63 km apart · Sarina profile · Nebo profile

Sarina Nebo

Sarina and Nebo (L) are two Queensland towns about 63km apart with very different profiles. Sarina is far more walkable (very walkable) and has a much larger population of older residents, with 18.8% aged 65 and over compared to just 5.8% in Nebo (L). It also has a far higher share of recent overseas arrivals (19.5% against 5.8%) and a much higher proportion of people with long-term health conditions (30.6% versus 14.7%).

The gap in typical weekly personal income has widened significantly since 2011, with Nebo (L) now far higher at $1,092 compared to $663 in Sarina. Despite this, the two areas are very similar in other ways, such as the share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher and the fact that most homes in both places are separate houses. While Sarina is more convenient for daily needs, with most homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services, Nebo (L) is mostly car-dependent.
