Keppel Mirani

Keppel and Mirani are two Queensland areas with similar populations, but they differ in how people live and move. Keppel is more walkable and attracts more new residents, with 41.2% of people moving in over the last five years compared to 30.7% in Mirani. Residents in Keppel are also more likely to live within a short walk of a park (79.2% versus 45.0%) or health services (27.6% versus 15.4%). In contrast, Mirani has more public transport options and a higher number of schools per child, though these schools are typically much smaller than those in Keppel.

Education levels have drifted further apart since 2011, with the gap in Year 12 completion widening to 9.6 percentage points in favour of Keppel. Despite this, the two areas share many similarities, including nearly identical proportions of children under 15 and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Typical weekly personal incomes are also very close, with Keppel at $791 and Mirani at $815, both sitting well below the national figure.
