Maalan Ravenshoe

Ravenshoe and Maalan are nearby areas in Queensland, though they differ greatly in scale and makeup. Ravenshoe is a larger centre where residents are far older, with a typical age of 52 and 28.2% of people aged 65 and over. It is more diverse, with 19.1% of the population being Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and 11.2% born overseas. Maalan is sparsely populated and much younger, with 26.9% of people being children under 15. While Ravenshoe is mostly car-dependent, it is far more walkable than Maalan, which is car-dependent and lacks nearby shops, parks, or schools.

Daily life in both places is similar in terms of transport, as neither area has public transport stops or routes. Both areas also have a very small number of people who speak little or no English. This shared isolation is mirrored in the data, though Ravenshoe has a higher rate of volunteers and a higher share of people who finished Year 12 compared to Maalan.
