Ashford Texas

Texas (L) and Ashford (L) are two small residential areas located about 53 km apart across the Queensland and New South Wales border. Ashford (L) has a far higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (26.1% compared to 9.9% in Texas (L)) and a far higher share of one-parent families (25.1% vs 14.5%). In contrast, Texas (L) has far more recent arrivals from overseas at 17.3%, while Ashford (L) has none.
