Yungaburra Goldsborough

Goldsborough (L) and Yungaburra are two nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Goldsborough (L) is a younger area where 24.5% of people are children, and it has a higher typical household income of $2,274 per week. In contrast, Yungaburra is much older, with a typical resident aged 53 and a far higher share of seniors at 33.2%. This age gap is reflected in the housing and lifestyle; Yungaburra is mostly car-dependent but has a more walkable centre, while Goldsborough (L) is strictly car-dependent and has a far higher share of large homes with three or more bedrooms (88.4%).

Both areas are similar in that almost no one can walk to public transport, and they share nearly identical rates of unemployment. These commonalities exist even as other gaps have shifted. Since 2016, the difference in typical age and the share of children have both flipped, with Goldsborough (L) becoming the younger of the two. Meanwhile, the gap in household income has widened, and Yungaburra has seen a significant increase in the number of people living alone.
