Central Highlands - East The Range - Allenstown

Central Highlands - East and The Range - Allenstown are two different kinds of Queensland communities. Central Highlands - East is a vast area where 21.2% of people are First Nations, and 57.3% of households rent. In contrast, The Range - Allenstown is much more compact, with a far higher share of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher (23.9% compared to 7.6%) and a much larger typical school size of 662 students. These differences are seen in the local workforce, as Central Highlands - East has many more people working in mining and agriculture, while The Range - Allenstown has more professionals in health and education.

Everyday life shares several similarities across both places, including a typical weekly family income of around $2,300 and an unemployment rate of about 5%. Both areas also have almost no access to public transport. However, some gaps are widening; the difference in bachelor degrees has grown since 2011, and the First Nations population is now far higher in Central Highlands - East than it was a decade ago.
