Cloncurry Richmond

Cloncurry and Richmond are two distant regional Queensland areas with very different social and economic profiles. Cloncurry has a much larger First Nations population at 23.8% compared to 7.2% in Richmond. It also sees far more people earning over $2,000 a week (19.3% versus 8.3%) and has a much higher share of renters, with 43.1% of households renting compared to 23.5% in Richmond. In contrast, Richmond has a much higher share of homes owned outright (36.2% versus 21.7%) and far more people working from home at 22.2%.

Both areas share many common traits, including very similar typical weekly household incomes and almost identical shares of children under 15. They also have nearly the same percentage of recent overseas arrivals and similar rates of long-term health conditions. While they are alike in these areas, the gaps in housing and income have generally widened since 2011, and Richmond continues to have far higher levels of access to money and resources.
