Charleville Riversleigh

Charleville and Riversleigh are two very different spots in Queensland. Charleville is a hub with 2,992 people, where 80.2% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park and there are four schools. In contrast, Riversleigh is sparsely populated with only 6 residents. The two areas differ sharply in wealth and age; the typical resident in Riversleigh is far older at 57 compared to 42 in Charleville. While the typical weekly household income in Riversleigh is far higher at $2,250, Charleville has a well higher typical personal income of $822 per week.

These two areas have tracked in different directions since 2011, with the gaps in income and age shifting over time. Despite these divergent paths, they share some basic traits, such as having about the same number of people per home. Both are effectively car-dependent, with no public transport stops and no homes within a 10-minute walk of transit.
