Emerald Charleville

Charleville and Emerald are two different kinds of Queensland centres. Charleville has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 43 and 19.3% of people aged 65 and over. It is also more affordable, with a typical weekly household income of $1,294 and a typical weekly rent of $170. In contrast, Emerald is much younger, with a typical age of 32, and is wealthier, with typical weekly incomes of $2,190. Emerald also has a higher share of people working or looking for work (73.7%) and a larger proportion of residents who have completed Year 12 (53.8%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for overall advantage. They also share similar unemployment rates, and the proportion of people employed full-time is almost the same in both places. While these similarities exist, some gaps are widening; the difference in typical age has grown to 11 years since 2011, and the gap in Year 12 completion has also increased.
