Colosseum Mount Tom

Colosseum and Mount Tom are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. They differ most in their age and income profiles. Mount Tom is much older, with 45.5% of people aged 65 and over compared to 22.8% in Colosseum. This older population is reflected in a higher share of people providing unpaid care (25.0% versus 6.4%) and those needing help with daily activities. Colosseum has a higher typical weekly household income of $1,187, while Mount Tom's is $725. There is also a sharp contrast among First Nations residents; the typical age in Colosseum is just 6 years, whereas in Mount Tom it is 52 years.

Everyday life is similar in both places, as both are car-dependent with no public transport and no amenities within a 15-minute walk. They also share very similar rates of adults with a bachelor degree or higher and typical weekly rents around $240 to $250. While Colosseum has a higher share of children and more volunteers, both areas remain well above the national figure for the typical age of residents.
