Charleville Clara Creek

Charleville and Clara Creek are two different types of Queensland outback locations. Charleville is a larger centre where 13.7% of residents are First Nations people and 17.4% are children under 15. It is mostly car-dependent, though more than half of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school or health service. In contrast, Clara Creek is sparsely populated with only 56 people. It has a much wealthier profile, with a typical weekly household income of $2,749 and 21.6% of people earning over $2,000 a week, compared to just 6.6% in Charleville.

Both areas share a similar reliance on cars, as neither has any public transport stops or departures. This lack of transit is a common thread for both, though they differ in how they work; 62.2% of people in Clara Creek work from home, while only 3.4% do so in Charleville. While Clara Creek is more highly qualified and earns more, Charleville has a more diverse population, with a higher share of people born overseas and those using a language other than English at home.
