Bancroft Splinter Creek

Bancroft and Splinter Creek are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. Bancroft has a much older population, with 24.5% aged 65 and over, and a higher rate of long-term health conditions at 29.6%. In contrast, Splinter Creek has higher typical incomes, with a typical household earning $2,124 per week compared to $900 in Bancroft. Splinter Creek also has a higher share of people who completed Year 12 (43.5% versus 33.3% in Bancroft) and typical monthly home-loan payments that are far higher at $3,467.

Both areas are almost identical in their lack of local services, with no public transport stops, schools, or shops within walking distance. They also share a similar lack of residents born overseas or using a language other than English at home. This shared remoteness is a constant across both places, even as the gap in typical weekly household income remains large.
