Blackall Lumeah

Blackall and Lumeah (Qld) are two very different Queensland locations. Blackall is a larger centre with a much older population, where the typical resident is 49. In contrast, Lumeah (Qld) is sparsely populated with a typical age of just 26. Income is far higher in Lumeah (Qld), where the typical weekly household earns $1,874 compared to $1,143 in Blackall. This gap is also seen among First Nations residents, with a typical personal income of $1,125 in Lumeah (Qld) and $487 in Blackall. Blackall also provides more local services, with 60.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and two schools nearby, while Lumeah (Qld) is entirely car-dependent.

These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, with the gaps in income and housing costs widening. Despite these diverging trends, they share some similarities, such as having no public transport stops and similar terrain. First Nations household incomes are also effectively alike in both places, sitting around $1,125 to $1,187.
