Banana Woorabinda

Banana and Woorabinda are two very different Queensland areas. Woorabinda is a young place where the typical resident is just 23, and it has a very high First Nations population of 91.6%. In contrast, Banana is far older with a typical resident aged 38 and a much smaller First Nations population of 5.1%. Wealth and housing also differ sharply; typical weekly household income in Banana is $1,766, which is far higher than the $684 seen in Woorabinda. While 33.1% of Banana homes are owned outright, no homes in Woorabinda are owned this way.

Both areas sit near the national figure for people who need help with daily activities. They also share similar climates, with almost identical average maximum temperatures around 30.7 degrees. Over time, the gaps between them have often grown. The difference in typical household income has widened since 2011, and the gap in the number of children under 15 has also increased.
