Miles End Pioneer

Pioneer (Qld) and Miles End are neighbouring areas in Mount Isa, but they differ sharply in their demographics and wealth. Pioneer (Qld) has a much larger First Nations population at 46.0% compared to 18.9% in Miles End. This is consistent with other differences: Pioneer (Qld) has far more one-parent families (39.0%), a higher share of renters (57.0%), and a much lower typical weekly family income of $1,684, while Miles End sees a typical weekly family income of $2,750. Miles End is also more walkable, with 35.2% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed compared to just 5.3% in Pioneer (Qld).

These gaps in income and education have widened since 2011. Despite this, the two areas share a similar everyday environment in some ways. They both have about the same number of people per home and nearly identical shares of people working from home. Both areas also rely entirely on private transport, with no one using public transport to commute and no public transport stops serving the residents.
