Mount Isa City Parkside

Parkside (Qld) and Mount Isa City are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Parkside (Qld) is a family-heavy area where 21.6% of people are children, and 14.6% of the population is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. In contrast, Mount Isa City is far more walkable, with a very walkable score of 6.8 compared to Parkside (Qld) which is mostly car-dependent. There is also a significant gap in housing and costs; Parkside (Qld) has far more detached houses (75.2%) and a typical weekly rent of $320, while Mount Isa City is far more reliant on rentals (69.2%) with a typical rent of just $110.

Daily life in both places shares many similarities, including a typical resident age of 31 and almost identical typical weekly incomes of around $2,400. Both areas also have the same number of schools within 3km. While they share these basics, they have diverged in other ways; for example, the gap in the proportion of adults working or looking for work is far higher in Parkside (Qld). This contrast is also seen in the First Nations population, where residents are far older in Mount Isa City than in Parkside (Qld).
