Kilcoy Nanango

Nanango and Kilcoy are both Queensland towns with similar school and rental patterns, but they differ sharply in age and wealth. Nanango has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 54 and 31.7% of people aged 65 or over. This is consistent with a higher health burden, as 40.7% of Nanango residents have a long-term health condition. Kilcoy is noticeably younger and more prosperous, with a typical household income of $1,334 per week compared to $883 in Nanango. Kilcoy also sees far more international migration, with 34.0% of people arriving from overseas recently.

These gaps have generally widened since 2011, especially the difference in typical age, which grew from 5 years to 10 years. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain very similar in some respects. They share nearly identical rates of volunteering, a similar proportion of renters, and an almost equal number of schools. Both areas also sit well below the national figure for public transport use, as neither has any scheduled public transport stops.
