A suburb with a median age of 28.
Burdell is one of Townsville's younger suburbs, and the numbers back that up: population 7,171, median age 28, and 40.2% of residents under 25. Household income runs to $2,232 a week, well above what a suburb this size usually pulls, so there's actual spending power behind the growth. New blocks keep being released on the northern edge of the city, and construction is the trade riding that wave hardest, the biggest single business category across the Townsville council area. This isn't a retiree suburb settling in; it's a suburb still filling up.
Burdell already counts 480 local businesses, and a lot of them are still running on a phone number, a ute door sign and a Facebook page nobody's touched in months. It's a gap in a suburb where 40.2% of residents are under 25 and search Google before they ask a neighbour. A plumber, a physio, a real estate agent or a mortgage broker who can't be found in ten seconds loses the job to whoever can. Health care and social assistance is the second-largest business category in the Townsville council area, with 1,546 businesses, and rental, hiring and real estate follows at 1,430, so the competition for that search result is only getting thicker. A website beats a Facebook page for one simple reason: Facebook decides who sees you, and a website doesn't.
