Brigalow Kogan

Kogan and Brigalow are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. Kogan is far older, with a typical resident aged 49 compared to 41 in Brigalow, and 27% of its people are aged 65 or over. This is consistent with a higher share of people with long-term health conditions in Kogan, which is far higher at 39.3% than Brigalow's 18.8%. In contrast, Brigalow is a wealthier area where the typical family income is $2,027 per week, far higher than the $1,100 seen in Kogan.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining car-dependent with almost no public transport. They share very similar home sizes and monthly mortgage payments. While Brigalow has far more people working from home and a higher share of children, Kogan has a larger First Nations population and more homes owned outright. Neither area is near a health service by walking distance, and both sit well below the national figure for people who speak a language other than English at home.
