Applethorpe Glen Niven

Applethorpe and Glen Niven are neighbouring Queensland areas with very different profiles. Applethorpe is larger and more active, with a typical resident aged 44 and far more people moving in over the last five years (34.1% compared to 22.1%). It also offers better access to local needs, as 23.9% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park and there are far more schools. In contrast, Glen Niven is sparsely populated and far older, with a typical age of 53. While Applethorpe has a small First Nations population (0.7%) with a typical personal income of $850, Glen Niven has a well higher First Nations share (7.1%) where the typical income is much lower at $75.

Both areas are very similar in how they fit into the national picture, such as having a similar share of people who volunteer (Applethorpe 14.9%, Glen Niven 21.5%) which sits near the national figure.
