Bohle Mount Louisa

Mount Louisa and Bohle are neighbouring areas in Townsville with very different profiles. Mount Louisa is a larger, younger hub where the typical resident is 34 and 22.8% of the population are children. It is a place of larger family homes, with 94.8% having three or more bedrooms and typical weekly household incomes of $2,072. In contrast, Bohle is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical age of 56 and 30.6% of residents aged 65 or over. Most people there live alone (56.1%) in smaller dwellings, and the typical household income is much lower at $814.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011 in terms of their Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations, which sit at around 8% and 7% respectively. They also share similar levels of people who speak little or no English and a similar share of residents with no religion. However, they differ sharply on accessibility, with Mount Louisa being far more walkable to parks and groceries, while Bohle has far more public transport stops and departures per 1,000 people.
