Chinchilla Miles - Wandoan

Chinchilla and Miles - Wandoan are two rural Queensland areas with distinct profiles. Chinchilla is younger and more family-oriented, with a typical resident aged 35 and 22.7% of the population being children under 15. It also has much larger schools, with an average size of 360 students compared to just 85 in Miles - Wandoan. In contrast, Miles - Wandoan is older, with 18% of people aged 65 and over and a higher share of homes owned outright at 34.3%.

These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, with the gap in the number of children widening while the difference in typical age has narrowed. Despite these shifts, they remain very similar in many ways, such as having identical shares of First Nations people (6.9%) and people with a bachelor degree or higher (11.5%). Both are heavily reliant on cars for transport, as neither area has any public transport stops or routes.
