Camooweal Mount Isa

Camooweal and Mount Isa are two sparsely populated areas in Queensland with very different profiles. Mount Isa is a high-income hub where 38.5% of adults have a bachelor degree or higher and the typical household earns $4,727 a week. In contrast, Camooweal has a much lower typical household income of $1,339 and only 6.4% of adults hold a degree. Camooweal also has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 39.0%, compared to 4.7% in Mount Isa.

Both areas share some basic realities of remote life, such as having no public transport and a similar number of people who need help with daily activities. However, the gap in wealth remains stark, with Mount Isa seeing far more households earning $3,000 or more a week. While both are small, Mount Isa is more likely to have children under 15 and larger homes, whereas Camooweal has a higher share of one-parent families and people living alone.
