Inverlaw and Haly Creek are two sparsely populated areas in Queensland. Inverlaw has a younger population, with a typical resident aged 42, while the typical resident in Haly Creek is far older at 51. There are stark differences in income and household makeup; for example, 26.8% of Haly Creek households earn $3,000 or more per week compared to just 4.0% in Inverlaw. Inverlaw is also more diverse, with an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population of 6.8% and a typical First Nations age of 8, whereas Haly Creek has no First Nations residents and a typical age of 72 for that group.
