Malarga vs Tansey

Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 19 km apart · Malarga profile · Tansey profile

Malarga Tansey

Tansey and Malarga are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. Tansey is the larger of the two with 154 residents, while Malarga has only 15. There are stark differences in wealth and age between them; residents in Malarga are far older, with a typical age of 60 compared to 44 in Tansey. This age gap is mirrored by a large difference in income, with the typical weekly household income in Malarga being $1,874, which is far higher than the $966 found in Tansey.

Both areas are car-dependent and lack local services. Neither has any homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, grocery store, or health service. This shared reliance on vehicles is a defining feature for both, as they both sit near the national figure for a lack of public transport and walkable amenities.
