Cloncurry Three Rivers

Cloncurry and Three Rivers are two very different Queensland locations. Cloncurry is a more populated hub where 23.7% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and 43.1% of homes are rented. It is also a wealthier area, with 20.4% of people earning $2,000 or more a week. In contrast, Three Rivers is sparsely populated and mainly agricultural, with 72.7% of workers in agriculture, forestry and fishing. It has a higher rate of home ownership, with 40% of homes owned outright, and a huge share of residents—52.3%—who work from home.

Both areas share a similar lack of public transport, with no stops or departures for residents in either location. They also both have a very low share of people who speak little or no English. While they are similar in these few ways, the gap in walkability is stark. Cloncurry is mostly car-dependent but has a mix of schools, parks and shops within a 15-minute walk, whereas Three Rivers is strictly car-dependent with no such amenities nearby.
