Armstrong Creek Laceys Creek

Armstrong Creek (Qld) and Laceys Creek are two sparsely populated neighbouring areas in Queensland. Laceys Creek has a higher proportion of people with no religion (52.9%) and more high earners, with 34.4% of households making $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, Armstrong Creek (Qld) has seen more movement recently, with 36.0% of people moving in during the last five years. Laceys Creek also has a more highly qualified workforce, where 27.3% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher compared to 19.2% in Armstrong Creek (Qld).

Everyday life in both places is very similar, as both have the same typical resident age of 45 and everyone lives in separate houses. They are both entirely dependent on cars for travel, with no one commuting by public transport. This shared reliance on vehicles is consistent with the fact that both areas have virtually no public transport stops or services. While both areas sit near the national figure for typical weekly personal income, they differ in housing, with homes in Armstrong Creek (Qld) more likely to be owned outright.
