Calliope Thangool

Calliope and Thangool (L) are two distinct Queensland areas with very different profiles. Calliope is a young, growing place where 30.7% of people are children and the typical resident is only 30. It has a much larger population and more people working full-time (66.0%). Thangool (L) is a sparsely populated area with a much older feel; residents are far older, with a typical age of 41, and 23.2% of the population are seniors. The two areas also differ on housing and faith, as homes are far more likely to be owned outright in Thangool (L) and people are far more likely to report no religion in Calliope.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people who speak little or no English. They also share a similar proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. While they are alike in these areas, other gaps have shifted since 2011. For example, the age difference has flipped, and the gap in typical monthly home-loan payments has widened, with Calliope now paying far more ($1,733) than Thangool (L) ($1,024).
