Taroom Eidsvold

Taroom and Eidsvold are two Queensland towns separated by about 136 km with very different social profiles. Eidsvold has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 33.8%, compared to 4.5% in Taroom. There are also stark differences in household types and finances; Taroom has far more three-bedroom homes (77.4% versus 57.5%) and a far higher typical weekly family income of $1,656, while Eidsvold's is $921. Employment differs sharply too, with Taroom's unemployment rate at 3.0% and Eidsvold's far higher at 15.5%.

Since 2011, the gap between the two has shifted in several key ways. While Taroom used to have a higher share of people with no religion and higher personal incomes, those leads have flipped or changed since then. Despite these shifts, they remain alike in other ways. Both areas have about the same share of renters (around 35%) and home owners (about 41%), and in both places, virtually no one commutes by public transport.
