Charleville Far South West

Charleville and Far South West are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland, though they differ in their makeup and housing. Far South West has a much larger First Nations population at 26.7%, compared to 11.5% in Charleville. Charleville is more diverse in terms of recent overseas arrivals, which are far higher at 28.0% against 14.7% in Far South West. Homes in Charleville are also more likely to have three or more bedrooms (75.5%) than those in Far South West (63.1%).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have generally widened. For instance, the difference in the share of First Nations residents and people in de facto relationships has increased over time. Despite these shifting trends, they remain very similar in other ways. Both areas have nearly identical proportions of people who have finished Year 12 (around 39%) and similar levels of typical weekly earnings, with both sitting slightly below the national figure for overall advantage.
