Calliope Seventeen Seventy

Calliope and Seventeen Seventy (L) are two very different Queensland areas. Calliope is a larger, family-focused hub where the typical resident is just 30, and 30.7% of the population are children. This is reflected in the homes, with 92.5% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Seventeen Seventy (L) is a sparsely populated area with a much older feel; the typical resident is 57, and 31.2% of people are aged 65 or over. Weekly incomes also differ sharply, with the typical household in Calliope earning $1,840, while the usual amount in Seventeen Seventy (L) is $949.

Since 2011, these two areas have tracked in opposite directions across many measures. In Calliope, the share of children and people caring for them has grown, while Seventeen Seventy (L) has seen an increase in people living alone and homes owned outright. Despite these shifts, both areas are almost identical in a few ways, such as the typical weekly rent of $300 and a very low rate of public transport use. They also both have a very small share of residents who speak little or no English.
