Collinsville Proserpine

Proserpine and Collinsville are two Queensland towns that differ mainly in their housing and workforce. Collinsville is far more likely to have separate houses, at 92.0% compared to 77.7% in Proserpine. It also has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals (21.6% vs 8.2%) and more people earning $2,000 or more a week (11.6% vs 5.9%). In contrast, Proserpine has a higher share of people aged 65 and over (23.3% vs 18.5%) and more one-parent families (21.6% vs 15.0%).

These two areas share a very similar age profile, with the typical resident in both being 43. They also have almost identical rates of renting (around 37%) and a similar proportion of people who do not identify with a religion. Over time, some of the gaps between them have narrowed, such as the difference in typical family income and the share of people born overseas. However, the gap in people needing help with daily activities has widened since 2011, with Proserpine now well higher than Collinsville.
