Agnes Water - Miriam Vale Monto - Eidsvold

Agnes Water - Miriam Vale and Monto - Eidsvold are both rural Queensland areas, but they differ in their growth and layout. Agnes Water - Miriam Vale has seen a surge in population, growing by 20.6% since 2021, and is far more likely to have residents with no religion (43.5%). Rent is far higher there, with the typical weekly cost at $275. In contrast, Monto - Eidsvold has a larger share of bigger homes, with 72.2% having three or more bedrooms, and more recent arrivals from overseas (14.4%). It also has much better access to basics, with 34.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, compared to just 0.7% in Agnes Water - Miriam Vale.

Both areas share very similar typical weekly household incomes of around $1,000 and the same low rate of people who speak a language other than English at home (3%). This shared economic profile exists alongside a widening gap in religious views and a growing difference in how many people have moved from overseas. While both areas are older than the national figure, the gap in their elderly populations has narrowed slightly since 2016.
