Kingaroy Bell

Kingaroy and Bell (L) are two Queensland areas with very different scales and demographics. Kingaroy is a much larger hub where residents are younger, with a typical age of 38, and a higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 22.5%. It also has more large homes, with 80.1% having three or more bedrooms. Bell (L) is a sparsely populated area where the typical resident is far older at 49. In Bell (L), almost all homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services (99.0%) and groceries (98.1%), making it far more walkable than Kingaroy.

Since 2011, the gap in typical age has widened, as has the difference in the number of people living alone. Both areas share similar proportions of children under 15 and adults with a bachelor degree or higher. They also both have a very low share of residents who speak little or no English, which is consistent with the national figure.
