Lanskey Mount Isa

Mount Isa has a much younger population, with 35.5% children under 15, compared to 13.9% in Lanskey. Education and income levels are also far higher in Mount Isa, where 38.5% of adults hold a bachelor degree and the typical weekly household income is $4,727; in Lanskey, no adults have a bachelor degree and the typical household earns $1,906. Residents in Mount Isa are also more likely to live in separate houses, with 80.4% of homes being detached.
