Seventy Mile Towers Hill

Seventy Mile and Towers Hill are two small Queensland areas with very different lifestyles. Seventy Mile is a sprawling place where everyone lives in separate houses and many people work from home, with 28.7% doing so compared to 0.0% in Towers Hill. Residents in Seventy Mile are generally younger, with a typical age of 42, and there are far more people caring for children unpaid (27.5% versus 11.4%). In contrast, Towers Hill is much older, with a typical age of 51, and a far higher share of people living alone (35.7% compared to 10.9%).

Both areas share a similar lack of public transport and the same proportion of people who speak little or no English. This common ground exists despite a sharp contrast in their layouts; Towers Hill is mostly car-dependent but has some walkable access to parks and schools, while Seventy Mile is strictly car-dependent. The two areas also differ in their First Nations populations, which is far higher in Towers Hill at 18.9% compared to 7.4% in Seventy Mile.
