Healy Spreadborough

Healy and Spreadborough are neighbouring areas in Mount Isa with very different profiles. Healy is a larger community where 16% of people were born overseas and many more are volunteers. Spreadborough is sparsely populated and has a much younger feel, with 45.5% of residents being children under 15 compared to 26.2% in Healy. Spreadborough also has a far higher share of one-parent families (23.9% versus 9.3%) and typical monthly home-loan payments that are far higher at $2,800, compared to $1,733 in Healy.

Daily life in both places is very similar in some ways, as both are car-dependent and have almost no residents using public transport. They share a similar typical weekly personal income of around $1,420 and roughly the same number of people per home. However, the gap in mobility is stark; while Healy is far more likely to have homes within a short walk of a school, every home in Spreadborough is within a 15-minute walk of a park.
