Emerald Clermont

Emerald and Clermont are two Queensland towns that differ mostly in scale and accessibility. Emerald is a larger hub with a much younger population and a higher share of people who have moved there in the last five years (49.5% compared to 37.2%). It is more walkable, with 92.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park and far more people finishing Year 12 (53.8% versus 42.0%). In contrast, Clermont is more sparsely populated and has a higher share of homes owned outright (29.2% compared to 15.7%).

These two towns share a very similar typical weekly income of around $1,031 and have nearly identical rates of long-term health conditions. While they are similar in these areas, some gaps are widening; for instance, Emerald has seen an increase in its share of residents born overseas and those using another language at home. The gap in Year 12 completion has also grown since 2011.
