Herbert Lingiari

Lingiari and Herbert are two distant areas with very different social profiles. Lingiari has a far higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (40.3%) and a much larger share of residents who use a language other than English at home (38.3%). In contrast, Herbert has more people who completed Year 12 (54.0% compared to 40.3% in Lingiari) and a far higher number of larger homes with three or more bedrooms (77.2%).

The gap in the number of people who finished Year 12 has narrowed since 2011. Both areas share similar rates of people born overseas (around 14%) and a low number of people who commute by public transport. While Lingiari has a younger population, the typical resident in Herbert is noticeably older at 35, and the gap in the number of people aged 65 and over has widened over time.
