Kalkadoon Mount Isa

Mount Isa and Kalkadoon are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland, but they differ sharply in wealth and education. Mount Isa is far more affluent, with a typical weekly family income of $4,812 and 38.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, no adults in Kalkadoon have a degree, and the typical family income is much lower at $2,374. Mount Isa also has more variety in its population, with 14% born overseas and a higher share of people with a religious affiliation. Kalkadoon is far more likely to have residents in de facto relationships (39.1%) and people who report having no religion (70.4%).

Both areas are effectively alike in that they are not served by public transport and have very similar home sizes, with about three people per home. This shared lack of infrastructure is consistent with both places being far from major urban centres. While both areas have seen a high number of people move in over the last five years, the gap in typical weekly rents has remained wide, with Kalkadoon's rent being $148 higher than in Mount Isa.
