Maryborough Tiaro

Maryborough (Qld) and Tiaro (L) are nearby Queensland areas with very different scales, as Maryborough is a large hub and Tiaro is sparsely populated. Residents are far older in Tiaro (L), where the typical age is 58 compared to 49 in Maryborough (Qld). Housing also differs, with separate houses being far higher in Tiaro (L) at 98.5%, while Maryborough (Qld) has a far higher share of adults working or looking for work at 42.9%. While Maryborough (Qld) has a higher share of people with a bachelor degree or higher, Tiaro (L) is much more walkable, with nearly all homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and groceries.

Both areas share several common traits, including similar proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and nearly identical typical weekly rents of around $250. This shared local experience extends to their populations, as both have a similar number of people living alone and roughly the same share of residents who need help with daily activities. Over time, some of these gaps have shifted; for example, the age difference between the two has narrowed since 2011.
