Cambooya Clifton

Cambooya and Clifton are two nearby Queensland towns with very different populations. Cambooya is much younger, with a typical resident aged 29, while the typical person in Clifton is 49. This age gap is seen in the family structures; Cambooya has a well higher share of children under 15 (26.5%) and people caring for children (35.6%), whereas Clifton has a much higher share of seniors (33.4%). Cambooya also sees far higher typical weekly household incomes ($1,544 compared to $858 in Clifton) and more adults working or looking for work.

These two areas have grown further apart since 2011, particularly regarding age and income. While they share similar proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents and people with mental health conditions, their daily environments differ. Clifton is somewhat walkable and has far more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. In contrast, Cambooya is mostly car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of those same services.
