Callide Maryborough

Callide and Maryborough are two Queensland areas with very different profiles. Callide is much younger, with a typical resident aged 40 and 20.2% of the population being children under 15. It is also more diverse and affluent, with 22.0% of people arriving recently from overseas and a typical weekly family income of $1,733. In contrast, Maryborough is far older, with a typical age of 50 and a higher share of seniors. Health challenges are more common there, as 39.8% of residents have a long-term health condition, compared to 28.8% in Callide.

Everyday life in both places is similar in that they are mostly car-dependent and have almost no public transport. Most people live in detached houses, and the proportion of adults with a bachelor degree or higher is nearly identical, at around 9%. However, the gap between the two is widening in several areas; the typical age difference has grown to 10 years since 2011, and the gap in typical weekly family income has increased to $412.
