Blackall Minnie Downs

Blackall and Minnie Downs are two very different Queensland locations. Blackall is a larger hub where residents are far older, with a typical age of 49, and an average weekly household income of $1,143. In contrast, Minnie Downs is sparsely populated with only 12 people, who are far younger with a typical age of 25. Money is also a major divider; typical weekly personal income is far higher in Minnie Downs at $1,124, compared to $686 in Blackall. While Blackall has a variety of shops and health services within a 15-minute walk, Minnie Downs is car-dependent with no walkable amenities.

Everyday life in both places is shaped by a lack of public transport, with neither area having any stops or routes. They also share a similar landscape, with nearly identical average terrain slopes. While they have these basics in common, the gap in typical household income remains far higher in Minnie Downs, and Blackall continues to have a much larger population of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
