Home Hill Nome

Home Hill and Nome (L) are two Queensland areas with very different layouts and lifestyles. Home Hill is a larger, somewhat walkable hub where most residents live within a 15-minute walk of schools, health services, and groceries. In contrast, Nome (L) is car-dependent, with no such amenities nearby. There are also notable social differences: Nome (L) has a higher share of people with no religion (38.9% compared to 24.1% in Home Hill) and a larger proportion of high-earning households, with 20.8% making $3,000 or more a week compared to 9.0% in Home Hill.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the share of people who speak little or no English. They also share similar unemployment rates and a high rate of outright home ownership, which is around 46% in both places. While these commonalities exist, some gaps are shifting; for instance, the difference in Year 12 completion rates has narrowed since 2011, though it remains far higher in Nome (L) at 42.7%.
