Bororen Colosseum

Bororen and Colosseum are two sparsely populated areas in Queensland. Bororen is more established in terms of local services, with two schools and 31.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of one, while Colosseum has no schools and no homes within a short walk of any. There are also notable differences in their populations; First Nations residents are far older in Bororen, where the typical age is 27 compared to just 6 in Colosseum. Bororen also has a far higher share of renters at 14.9%, whereas no one rents in Colosseum.

The gap in how people live and work is widening, as Colosseum has seen a rise in people working from home, who now make up 23.8% of the area. Despite this, the two places share many similarities. They are effectively alike in their typical weekly family incomes, which sit around $1,400 to $1,500, and both have about the same share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. They also share very similar proportions of people born overseas and those who have served in the Defence Force.
