Surat Teelba

Surat and Teelba are two distinct Queensland locations with very different layouts. Surat is a concentrated area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 47 compared to 30 in Teelba. It has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (20.6% versus 0.0%) and a larger share of people aged 65 and over (27.4% versus 9.8%). While Surat is somewhat walkable with most homes near groceries and parks, Teelba is car-dependent and largely non-residential, with a population of just 82 people spread across a huge area.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011 in some respects, such as having the same number of schools and similar typical weekly rents around $140 to $150. They also share a similar level of higher education, with about 10% of adults holding a bachelor degree. However, they differ sharply in work habits; 52.8% of people in Teelba work from home, which is far higher than the 1.9% in Surat.
