Mount Isa City Winston

Winston and Mount Isa City are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Winston is car-dependent, with a population that is far more likely to be Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (14.9%) and have children under 15 (18.7%). It also has a higher rate of adults working or looking for work, at 73.8%. In contrast, Mount Isa City is very walkable, with every home within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, and a school. It has a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (26.9%) and typical weekly rents that are much lower, at $110 compared to $261 in Winston.

Everyday life in both areas shares several similarities, such as the same proportion of people aged 65 and over (around 9%) and a similar share of households earning $3,000 or more a week. They also both have very few people using public transport to get to work. While Winston has more people who moved in the last five years, Mount Isa City has a far older First Nations population, with a typical age of 55 compared to 28 in Winston.
