Beilba Highland Plains

Beilba and Highland Plains (Maranoa - Qld) are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. There are sharp differences in income and age between them. In Beilba, the typical weekly household income is $2,250, which is far higher than the $1,399 seen in Highland Plains (Maranoa - Qld). Beilba also has a younger population, with a typical resident aged 38, while residents are far older in Highland Plains (Maranoa - Qld) at a typical age of 48.
