North Johnstone Topaz

Topaz and North Johnstone are two sparsely populated neighbouring areas in Queensland. Topaz has a more qualified population, with 31.0% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 12.3% in North Johnstone. Topaz is also more likely to be home to people who identify as having no religion (55.4%) and one-parent families (18.0%). In contrast, North Johnstone has a much higher share of people providing unpaid care (36.8% vs 15.5%) and more people with long-term health conditions (38.8% vs 23.7%).

Both areas are similar in their lack of public transport and car dependency, with neither having any homes within walking distance of a station. This shared reliance on cars is a common trait for both, which also sit near the national figure for the share of people who speak little or no English. While both are older than the Australian average, North Johnstone is the older of the two, with a typical resident aged 54 compared to 47 in Topaz.
