Rubyvale Tieri

Tieri and Rubyvale are two distinct Queensland towns located about 80 km apart. Tieri is a young, high-earning area where the typical resident is 29 and the usual weekly household income is $3,143. It is dominated by the mining industry, with 89.8% of homes being rented and a high proportion of children under 15 (26.9%). In contrast, Rubyvale is much older, with a typical resident aged 60 and 37.6% of the population aged 65 and over. Income is far lower here, with a typical weekly household income of $673, and most people own their homes outright (64.3%).

Everyday life in both towns shares a total lack of public transport, with no one commuting by bus or train and no homes within a short walk of such services. However, the two places have drifted further apart since 2011. The gap in typical ages has widened to 31 years, and the difference in typical weekly household income has grown to $2,470. While both are remote, Tieri has seen a rise in overseas arrivals (17.3%), whereas Rubyvale has none.
