Benholme Septimus

Septimus and Benholme are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. There are stark differences in their age and income profiles: 30.8% of people in Septimus are aged 65 or over, compared with just 11.1% in Benholme. Septimus also has a far higher share of people working from home at 43.5%, while Benholme has a much higher proportion of high earners, with 23.1% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. Education levels also differ, with 43.3% of Septimus residents having completed Year 12 compared to 29.2% in Benholme.

Everyday life in both areas shares many similarities, as both are composed entirely of separate houses and have no one commuting by public transport. They are also alike in that no residents speak little or no English and neither area has any recorded unemployment. While the typical resident is far older than the national figure in both places, the gaps between them vary; for example, the gap in home ownership is quite large, with homes owned outright being far higher in Septimus.
