Crystal Brook Silver Creek

Crystal Brook (Qld) and Silver Creek are nearby rural areas with very different profiles. Silver Creek is sparsely populated and has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 46 compared to 38 in Crystal Brook (Qld). Incomes are also quite different; the typical household income in Silver Creek is $2,250 per week, which is well higher than the $1,424 seen in Crystal Brook (Qld). Crystal Brook (Qld) has a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population and more local facilities, including two schools within 3 km.

Both areas have remained very similar in their lack of infrastructure since 2011. They are both car-dependent, with no homes within a short walk of public transport, groceries, or health services. This lack of accessibility is common to both, as they both sit far below the national figure for walkability.
