Mount Morgan Struck Oil

Mount Morgan and Struck Oil are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different profiles. Mount Morgan is more urban, with a mostly car-dependent walkability score, though many homes are within a 15-minute walk of schools, parks, and shops. It has a higher proportion of renters, one-parent families, and people living alone, and its typical weekly household income is much lower at $779. In contrast, Struck Oil is car-dependent and more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $1,303. Residents there are more likely to be married, work full-time, and live in larger homes with three or more bedrooms.

These two areas have tracked closely in several ways since 2011. They share very similar rates of volunteering, people who speak little or no English, and the proportion of residents with no religion. Both areas also have nearly the same share of children under 15 and a similar level of school advantage. While Mount Morgan has a higher First Nations population, the typical age of First Nations residents is far older in Struck Oil, where they are 45 compared to 30 in Mount Morgan.
