Taroom and Injune are two small Queensland towns located about 126 km apart. Injune has a far higher share of one-parent families (24.4% compared to 9.7% in Taroom) and a much higher share of children under 15 (21.3% versus 17.5%). In contrast, Taroom has a far higher share of recent arrivals from overseas (10.7% compared to 0.0% in Injune) and more people aged 65 and over (25.3% versus 21.3%).
