Doolbi South Isis

South Isis and Doolbi are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different household profiles. Doolbi has a much higher share of people living alone (35.0% compared to 15.4% in South Isis) and a far higher rate of volunteering, at 27.7% versus 16.0%. In contrast, South Isis has a higher typical weekly household income of $1,269, which is well higher than Doolbi's $974, and a higher typical monthly home-loan payment of $1,467 compared to $900 in Doolbi.

While they differ in income and home ownership, the two areas share very similar health and education profiles, with nearly identical rates of long-term health conditions and Year 12 completion. These similarities stand against a widening gap in employment; the share of adults working or looking for work is now far higher in South Isis, where it sits 11 percentage points above Doolbi. Both areas remain far older than the national figure, though the typical resident in Doolbi is noticeably older at 59.
