Cromarty Horseshoe Lagoon

Horseshoe Lagoon and Cromarty are two small, sparsely populated areas in Queensland. They differ sharply in age and education; Horseshoe Lagoon is much younger, with 24.4% of its people being children under 15, while the typical resident in Cromarty is far older at 56. This is reflected in their qualifications and pay, as Cromarty has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (29.4% compared to 8.6%) and a much higher typical weekly personal income of $900, well above the $657 seen in Horseshoe Lagoon.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the percentage of people aged 65 and over. They are also very similar in their car-dependent layouts and the number of people living in each home. While they share these basic characteristics, they have diverged in other ways over time, with the gap in educational attainment and weekly income remaining wide.
