Lakeland Starcke

Starcke and Lakeland are both remote areas in Queensland, but they differ greatly in their populations and demographics. Starcke is sparsely populated with only 3 people, where the typical resident is far older at 63 and typical weekly personal incomes are far higher at $1,125. Lakeland has 333 people and is much younger, with a typical age of 34. Homes in Lakeland are more crowded, with 2.5 people per home compared to just 1.0 in Starcke.

Both areas are car-dependent and share a lack of local services, as no homes in either place are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or parks. Lakeland sits closer to the national figure for household size, with about the same number of people per home as the Australian average. While both areas are isolated, Lakeland has more infrastructure, including one school and a higher number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
