Moranbah Finch Hatton

Moranbah and Finch Hatton (L) are two very different Queensland locations. Moranbah is a larger, younger hub where the typical resident is 31, while Finch Hatton (L) is sparsely populated and far older, with a typical age of 48. There are major financial gaps between them; typical weekly household income in Moranbah is $3,085, which is far higher than the $1,202 seen in Finch Hatton (L). These differences extend to housing, with 67.9% of Moranbah households renting, compared to only 10.2% in Finch Hatton (L).

Since 2011, the gap between these two places has widened across almost every major measure. For example, the difference in typical household income has more than tripled, and the age gap has grown as Finch Hatton (L) becomes significantly older. Despite this, they share some common ground, such as having almost identical shares of people with no religion (around 43%) and roughly the same percentage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents.
