Bakers Creek Nebo

Bakers Creek (L) and Nebo (L) are two Queensland areas with very different community profiles. Bakers Creek (L) is more diverse and better qualified, with 14.4% of people using another language at home and 41.9% completing Year 12, compared to 1.8% and 23.9% in Nebo (L). More adults in Bakers Creek (L) are working or looking for work (65.4% versus 47.7%), and the area has seen more movement, with 43.7% of people moving in the last five years. In contrast, Nebo (L) is much more walkable; 85.6% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed and 97% of homes are within a short walk of a school, whereas no homes in Bakers Creek (L) have a 15-minute-city walkshed.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions across several measures.
