Maaroom The Dimonds

Maaroom and The Dimonds are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different residential profiles. Maaroom has a population of 247, while The Dimonds is largely non-residential. Residents in The Dimonds are far older, with a typical age of 80 compared to 65 in Maaroom. Maaroom also has more people per home, with 1.7 people against 1.0 in The Dimonds, and 0.80 people per bedroom compared to just 0.20 in The Dimonds.

Daily life in both places is very similar as they are both car-dependent. Neither area has any homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, groceries, health services, or public transport. This lack of local services is consistent across both areas, though Maaroom has slightly more street connectivity and more homes within walking distance of a park.
