Monto Thangool

Monto and Thangool (L) are two Queensland towns with very different profiles. Monto is far older, with a typical resident aged 54 and a high share of people aged 65 and over (33.9%). It is also more accessible, as 96% of homes are within a 15 minute walk of health services and the area is somewhat walkable. In contrast, Thangool (L) is wealthier and more family-oriented, with a typical weekly household income of $1,513 and a higher share of children under 15 (16.5%). It is more car-dependent, as no homes are within a 15 minute walk of groceries or health services.

Their paths have diverged since 2011, with the gap in typical incomes and ages flipping between the two areas. Despite these shifts, they share some similarities, such as having an identical lack of public transport and very similar rates of full-time employment. Both areas also sit well below the national figure for people born overseas, though this is more pronounced in Thangool (L) at 3.5%.
