Carpentaria Doomadgee

Carpentaria and Doomadgee are two sparsely populated areas in Queensland. Doomadgee has a far higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (89.3%) compared to Carpentaria (41.7%), and is much younger, with a typical resident aged 25. Carpentaria is far older, with a typical age of 36 and a much larger share of people aged 65 and over (13.4% compared to 2.6%). These differences extend to income; typical weekly family income is far higher in Carpentaria at $1,704, while it is $882 in Doomadgee.

Since 2011, several gaps between the two have narrowed, including the difference in the proportion of children and the typical age of residents. However, other gaps have widened, such as the difference in typical incomes and the share of homes owned outright. Both areas share very similar levels of access to money and resources, as well as similar average temperatures and rates of population growth.
