Kalbar vs Yangan

Urban Centre comparison ≈ 50 km apart · Kalbar profile · Yangan profile

Kalbar Yangan

Yangan and Kalbar are two small Queensland towns with very different social profiles. Yangan is a sparsely populated area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 50 compared to 41 in Kalbar. Kalbar is more dynamic, with 41.2% of people moving there in the last five years, while only 24.3% of Yangan residents have arrived recently. Access to health services is a major divide; 72.1% of Kalbar homes are within a 15-minute walk of a clinic, whereas no homes in Yangan have that level of access.

Both areas sit near the national figure for people who own their homes outright, at around 44%. This shared stability exists alongside other similarities, such as nearly identical typical weekly personal incomes of about $611 to $634. However, the gap in resident age has widened since 2011, and Kalbar has seen its share of renters grow to 18.7%, while Yangan remains much lower at 10.4%.
