Archer River Wenlock

Archer River and Wenlock are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. There are significant differences in their typical incomes and household sizes. In Archer River, the typical weekly household income is $1,749, which is far higher than the $900 seen in Wenlock. However, typical family income and First Nations personal income are far higher in Wenlock, where the latter reaches $3,500 compared to $1,062 in Archer River. Homes in Archer River also tend to be much larger, with 3.1 people per home compared to just 1.6 in Wenlock.

Both areas are completely car-dependent and lack local schools, public transport, and walkable services. This shared isolation is a defining feature for both, as neither area has any homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or parks. While First Nations residents in Wenlock are far older and have much higher typical incomes, both areas sit well above the national figure for typical resident age.
