Emerald Clermont

Emerald and Clermont are two Queensland towns with distinct local characters. Clermont is much more walkable, with 82.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services compared to 36.5% in Emerald. Clermont also has a higher share of people living alone (33.6% versus 23.4%) and more residents aged 65 and over. In contrast, Emerald is more diverse, with a well higher share of people born overseas (14.8% compared to 7.4%) and those using another language at home. Emerald also has more people who completed Year 12 and a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week.

Both towns are very similar in other ways, such as their typical weekly personal incomes and the high proportion of children under 15. They also share similar levels of full-time employment and a common tendency for homes to have three or more bedrooms. Over time, some gaps have shifted; for example, the difference in the number of people aged 65 and over has narrowed since 2011. Meanwhile, the gap in typical weekly rent has widened, with rent now $80 higher in Emerald.
