Bakers Creek Eton

Bakers Creek (L) and Eton (L) are two nearby areas in Queensland with very different social makeups. Bakers Creek (L) is much more diverse, with 18.2% of people born overseas and 14.4% using a language other than English at home. It also has a higher typical weekly household income of $2,161, compared to $1,674 in Eton (L). In contrast, Eton (L) has a higher share of people who own their homes outright (31.7% versus 21.3%) and a higher proportion of children under 15 at 25.3%.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, including a typical weekly personal income of around $916 and an almost identical unemployment rate of about 3%. Both areas are car-dependent and have almost no homes within easy walking distance of shops or health services. While they share these traits, some gaps are changing; for example, the difference in the number of children under 15 has flipped since 2011, and the gap in home ownership has narrowed.
