Miles End Mount Isa City

Miles End and Mount Isa City are neighbouring areas with very different home and family lives. Miles End has a much higher share of children under 15 (27.5% compared to 9.4% in Mount Isa City) and a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (18.9% versus 2.9%). This is consistent with a higher number of one-parent families and more adults caring for children unpaid in Miles End.
