Berrigan Indigo

Indigo and Berrigan are two regional areas located about 97 km apart across the state border. Indigo is more affluent and highly qualified, with 21.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 10.5% in Berrigan. This higher level of education is consistent with Indigo having a far higher share of residents who completed Year 12 (47.7% versus 32.7%) and a much higher proportion of adults working or looking for work. Indigo is also far more secular, with 47.7% of people reporting no religion, while 34.2% say the same in Berrigan.

Both areas have similar unemployment rates, with Indigo at 2.5% and Berrigan at 3.1%, both sitting close to the national figure. They also share similar levels of First Nations populations and a very low number of people who speak a language other than English at home. However, several gaps have grown since 2011, including the difference in typical ages, as Berrigan has become noticeably older than Indigo. The divide in educational attainment and the share of people with no religion have also widened over the last decade.
