Kingaroy Surrounds - North Kingaroy Surrounds - South

Kingaroy Surrounds - North and Kingaroy Surrounds - South are two nearby rural areas with starkly different social profiles. Kingaroy Surrounds - North has a much larger First Nations population at 19.4% and a far higher share of one-parent families (22.7% compared to 10.9% in the south).
