Bloomfield vs Noah

Bloomfield and Noah are two sparsely populated areas in Queensland. Bloomfield has a small community of 228 people, including a far larger number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people than Noah, which has no recorded population. Access to basics varies between them; for example, 32.4% of Bloomfield homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while no homes in Noah have this access. Bloomfield also has more walking amenities, with an average school size of 67 compared to just 11 in Noah.

Both areas are completely car-dependent, as no homes in either place are within a 10-minute walk of public transport or health services. This lack of nearby services is a shared trait across the two neighbours. While Noah has a higher typical school advantage score and a steeper terrain slope, neither area has a 15-minute-city walkshed.
