Roma vs Charleville

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 232 km apart · Roma profile · Charleville profile

Roma Charleville

Roma and Charleville are two distinct Queensland towns with very different age and housing profiles. Roma is a younger area where the typical resident is 35, while residents in Charleville are far older with a typical age of 43. This age gap is reflected in the families; Roma has a well higher share of children under 15 (21.5%) and a far higher proportion of renters (45.4%). In contrast, people in Charleville are much more likely to own their homes outright (38.5%) and far more of them are aged 65 or over (19.3%).

Everyday life in both towns shares many similarities, such as almost identical proportions of First Nations people and those who volunteer. However, the gap between the two has grown in several areas since 2011. For example, the difference in typical ages has widened to 8 years, and the gap in the share of people who have moved recently has grown to 11 points, with Roma being far higher. While both are car-dependent, Roma has better access to groceries and parks within a 15-minute walk.
