Philpott and Deep Creek (Qld) are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. There are stark differences between them, particularly regarding age and income. Residents in Philpott are far older, with a typical age of 54 compared to 37 in Deep Creek (Qld). Weekly personal income is also far higher in Deep Creek (Qld) at $900, while the usual amount in Philpott is $537.
