Bollier Carters Ridge

Carters Ridge and Bollier are neighbouring rural areas in Queensland with distinct profiles. Carters Ridge is more likely to have residents who finished Year 12 (49.5% compared to 36.8% in Bollier) and those with a bachelor degree or higher (17.2% versus 8.4%). This is consistent with a higher share of larger homes, with 74.1% of houses having three or more bedrooms compared to 63.1% in Bollier. In contrast, Bollier has a much higher First Nations household income ($2,399 versus $1,125) and a far older First Nations population, with a typical age of 56 compared to just 16 in Carters Ridge.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining very alike in their core economics. They share nearly identical typical weekly personal incomes (around $622 to $640) and typical household incomes (around $1,400). They are also effectively the same in terms of the proportion of people aged 65 and over and the total absence of public transport options. While Bollier has more people living alone, both areas are far more likely to have residents who do not identify with a religion than the national figure.
