Applethorpe The Summit

Applethorpe and The Summit are neighbouring Queensland areas with a few striking differences. Applethorpe has a much larger overseas-born population, with 40.9% of residents arriving recently compared to 8.1% in The Summit. First Nations residents are also far older in Applethorpe, where the typical age is 53, while the typical age in The Summit is 22. Applethorpe is more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $1,408, which is well higher than the $1,117 seen in The Summit.

Both areas are effectively alike in many ways, such as having almost identical shares of children under 15 and people who have served in the Defence Force. They also share a very similar housing landscape, where nearly every home is a separate detached house and typical weekly rents are nearly the same at around $270.
