Winton Boulia

Winton (L) and Boulia (L) are two small Queensland towns with very different profiles. Boulia (L) has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 44.5%, compared to 9.1% in Winton (L). There is also a stark difference in family types, with one-parent families making up 40.5% of households in Boulia (L) but only 13.3% in Winton (L). Winton (L) is the more settled of the two, where 39.6% of homes are owned outright and typical family incomes are higher at $2,010 per week.
