Kiels Mountain and Mapleton are two nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Kiels Mountain is a wealthier, family-focused area where the typical household earns $2,335 a week and 91.3% of homes have three or more bedrooms. Mapleton is much older, with a typical resident aged 58 and 37.4% of the population aged 65 or over. While Kiels Mountain is car-dependent, Mapleton is somewhat walkable, with 95.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and groceries.
Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has shifted significantly across many measures. In several cases, the lead has flipped, such as typical age and weekly income, with Kiels Mountain becoming the higher-earning area. Despite these diverging trends, both places are effectively alike in a few areas; for example, almost no one in either place commutes by public transport, and both have very similar shares of people born overseas.
