Ryan The Gap

The Gap (Mount Isa - Qld) and Ryan (Qld) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. The Gap is a more diverse and walkable area, where 16.5% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and 24.6% were born overseas. It has a higher proportion of renters (55.8%) and a walkability score of 4.6 (somewhat walkable), meaning many residents can reach schools and shops on foot. In contrast, Ryan (Qld) is more car-dependent (0.8) and has a higher share of homeowners, with 42.4% owning their homes outright. Ryan also has a higher proportion of children under 15 (24.8%) and more high-income households, with 39.4% earning $3,000 or more a week.

Both areas are similar in their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $2,000. They also share a total lack of public transport, with no stops or departures per 1,000 people in either location. While The Gap has a larger population and more rental properties, Ryan is more heavily dominated by separate houses. These two neighbours have maintained this contrast in housing and income as they have grown since 2011.
