Noah vs Upper Daintree

Upper Daintree and Noah are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. Upper Daintree is largely non-residential with only 21 people, while Noah has no population. Noah has a steeper landscape, with a mean terrain slope of 15.6%, which is well higher than the 9.5% seen in Upper Daintree. Noah also has more schools within 3 km, with two compared to the one school in Upper Daintree.

Both areas are completely car-dependent and lack basic amenities within walking distance. This shared isolation is reflected in their similar lack of public transport and street connectivity. While some measures show a gap, the number of schools and the typical size of those schools have remained relatively stable over time.
