Mount Edwards Mount French

Mount French and Mount Edwards are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. Mount French has a higher typical weekly household income of $1,874 and a higher share of homes owned outright at 48.7%. In contrast, Mount Edwards has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 10.0% and a higher proportion of renters at 28.6%. Mount French is also notably older, with 23.8% of residents aged 65 and over, while Mount Edwards has no residents in that age group.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, maintaining a shared rural character where every home is a separate house and no one uses public transport to commute. They are effectively alike in their lack of local amenities, with no shops, parks, or schools within a 15-minute walk. This car-dependency is common to both, as neither area has any homes without a motor vehicle.
