Colosseum Lowmead

Colosseum and Lowmead are both sparsely populated rural areas in Queensland. Colosseum has a notably higher share of people who finished Year 12 (32.9% compared to 17.7% in Lowmead) and a higher typical family income of $1,437 per week. Homes in Colosseum are more likely to be larger, with 82.4% having three or more bedrooms, whereas only 55.1% of homes in Lowmead have that many.

Both areas share a reliance on cars, as every home in both places has a motor vehicle and no one commutes by public transport. However, the gap in unemployment is wide and has remained significant, with Lowmead's rate far higher at 17.4%, compared to 3.3% in Colosseum. This contrast exists alongside similar rates of people born overseas, which sit at around 8% for both areas.
