Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 14 km apart · Mount Urah profile · St Mary profile

Mount Urah St Mary

Mount Urah and St Mary are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. Mount Urah is younger and more family-oriented, with 18.4% of its residents being children under 15, compared to none in St Mary. This difference is reflected in the typical age, which is 47 in Mount Urah and far older in St Mary at 56. Economic profiles also differ sharply; typical weekly family income is far higher in Mount Urah at $2,250, while St Mary is $1,374.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining very small and largely non-residential. They share a few common traits, such as a similar share of former Defence Force members and a total lack of residents who speak a language other than English at home. However, the two places differ in health and support needs, as people providing unpaid care are far more common in St Mary. This is consistent with the area being much older, with 55.9% of residents aged 65 or over, compared to 28.6% in Mount Urah.
