Urban Centre comparison ≈ 42 km apart · Clifton profile · Yangan profile

Clifton Yangan

Clifton and Yangan (L) are two small Queensland towns with very different profiles. Clifton has a much older population, with 33.4% aged 65 and over compared to 18.5% in Yangan (L). It is also more connected, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, groceries, and schools. In contrast, Yangan (L) has a younger feel, with 24.9% of people under 15, and typical weekly household incomes are well higher at $1,362 compared to $858 in Clifton.

Both areas share a similar Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population of around 8% to 9%. While they are alike in this regard, other gaps have shifted since 2011; the difference in typical incomes has shrunk, and the lead in bachelor degree holders has flipped to Yangan (L). Clifton's share of renters is far higher than in Yangan (L), a gap that has widened over the last decade.
