Mount Isa's most educated suburbs
Townview tops the ranking, where 22.8% of residents aged 15 and over hold a bachelor degree or higher (195 people). Sunset and Pioneer follow.
This page ranks Mount Isa suburbs by the share of residents aged 15 and over who hold a bachelor degree or higher in the 2021 Census — the metro's most university-qualified neighbourhoods. Only suburbs with at least 2,000 residents are ranked.
Shares are the count of Mount Isa residents aged 15+ whose highest qualification is a bachelor degree, graduate diploma or certificate, or postgraduate degree, divided by all residents aged 15 and over — the ABS non-school-qualification universe, so children aren't counted in the base. The figures come from the 2021 Census. Percentile ranks are computed within Mount Isa's pool, so the list reflects concentration relative to other metro suburbs. This is descriptive demographic information, not a recommendation.

Common questions about this ranking
What are Mount Isa's most educated suburbs?
Townview tops the ranking, where 22.8% of residents aged 15 and over hold a bachelor degree or higher (195 people). Sunset and Pioneer follow.
How is this ranking put together?
Each Mount Isa suburb is ranked by the share of its residents aged 15 and over who hold a bachelor degree or higher in the 2021 Census — that count divided by all residents aged 15+. Only suburbs with at least 2,000 residents are included, and percentile ranks are computed within Mount Isa's pool, so the list reflects concentration relative to other metro suburbs.
What counts as a bachelor degree or higher?
The Census non-school-qualification levels at bachelor and above: a bachelor degree, a graduate diploma or graduate certificate, and a postgraduate degree. It's measured against residents aged 15 and over — the group the Census asks about qualifications — so children aren't counted in the base and the share isn't diluted.
Where does the data come from?
The Australian Bureau of Statistics 2021 Census question on non-school qualifications. Nothing is estimated or inferred about any individual, and this is a factual demographic snapshot rather than a judgement about any suburb.
How current is it?
The figures are from the 2021 Census, the most recent available until results from the August 2026 Census are released in 2027. The top 15 is recomputed whenever we refresh the census data.
