Chirnside Tieri

Tieri and Chirnside are nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Tieri is a young, active hub where the typical resident is 29, and children under 15 make up 27.2% of the population. It has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community at 10.1% and a high proportion of people working or looking for work (76.2%). In contrast, Chirnside is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical age of 52 and 17.9% of residents aged 65 and over. Work in Tieri is dominated by mining, while in Chirnside, agriculture, forestry and fishing are the main industries.

The gap in residents who have moved in the last five years is widening, with 57.2% of people in Tieri arriving recently compared to just 20.4% in Chirnside. Both areas share a complete lack of public transport and are equally unlikely to have residents who speak little or no English. They also both have a similar number of people per bedroom, though they differ in how they spend their time; for example, volunteering is far higher in Chirnside at 41.2%.
