Gooburrum Oakwood

Gooburrum and Oakwood are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different profiles. Gooburrum has a much more qualified and higher-earning population, where 52.8% of adults finished Year 12 and the typical household income is far higher at $2,012 a week. In contrast, Oakwood is far older, with a typical resident aged 60 and a far higher share of people aged 65 and over (40.1%). This is reflected in the housing; every home in Gooburrum is a separate house, while Oakwood has a much higher share of people living alone (40.0%) and a typical household income that is far lower at $780 a week.

Both areas have similar levels of overseas birth and a very low share of residents who use public transport. Since 2011, the gaps between them have shifted significantly, with the typical age, income, and education levels all flipping in direction. This trend is also seen in housing, with the gap in separate houses widening as Gooburrum has become more dominated by detached homes.
