Emu Vale Tregony

Emu Vale and Tregony are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland, but they have very different profiles. Emu Vale is much older, with a typical resident aged 60 and 41% of people living with a long-term health condition. In contrast, Tregony is younger, with a typical age of 39, and far more families with children; 22.2% of its residents are under 15 compared to just 4.3% in Emu Vale. Tregony also has significantly higher incomes, with a typical weekly household income of $2,124, which is far higher than the $928 typical in Emu Vale.

Both areas are car-dependent, with virtually no one living within walking distance of shops or health services. This reliance on cars is a shared reality, though Emu Vale has a much longer drive to the city at 153 minutes. While they share this lack of local amenities, Tregony has seen more movement recently, with 40.5% of people moving in over the last five years compared to 28% in Emu Vale.
