Paterson Theebine

Paterson (Qld) and Theebine are neighbouring rural areas with very different age profiles. Paterson (Qld) is much younger, with 29.3% of residents being children under 15 and a typical age of 41. This is consistent with a much higher share of people caring for children unpaid (33.6%) and a higher unemployment rate of 22.2%. In contrast, Theebine is far older; the typical resident is 53, and 23.4% of the population are seniors. Theebine also sees much higher typical weekly family incomes, at $1,812 compared to $1,062 in Paterson (Qld).

Both areas are almost entirely made up of detached houses and have no public transport options. While they share similar home sizes and very low rates of people speaking a language other than English, the gap in employment styles is widening. Theebine is far more likely to have residents working from home (20.6%), while Paterson (Qld) has a much higher share of people commuting by car as a driver.
