Bouldercombe vs Limestone

Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 12 km apart · Bouldercombe profile · Limestone profile

Bouldercombe Limestone

Bouldercombe and Limestone (Qld) are two nearby areas in Queensland with very different profiles. Bouldercombe is home to 1,117 people and has more amenities within walking distance, including a few homes near parks and schools. In contrast, Limestone (Qld) is sparsely populated with only 16 residents, but it has much higher typical weekly household incomes of $2,999 compared to $1,531 in Bouldercombe. These income differences extend to First Nations households, where Limestone (Qld) is far higher at $2,999, while Bouldercombe is much lower at $974.

Both areas are car-dependent and lack homes within easy walking distance of groceries, health services, or public transport. This shared reliance on vehicles is consistent across both places, as neither has any public transport stops or routes. While they are both car-dependent, Bouldercombe has a larger First Nations population of 65 people, whereas Limestone (Qld) has none.
