Cherbourg Sunshine Coast

Sunshine Coast and Cherbourg are two very different Queensland areas. Cherbourg is an overwhelmingly First Nations community, where 96.4% of the population is Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, compared to 2.4% in Sunshine Coast. The population in Cherbourg is also much younger, with a typical age of 23 and 35.1% of people under 15, while Sunshine Coast is far older, with a typical age of 43 and 21.7% of people aged 65 and over. Financial gaps are stark; the typical weekly household income in Sunshine Coast is $1,595, which is far higher than the $793 found in Cherbourg.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people who speak little or no English. Aside from this, the two places have moved further apart in several ways since 2016. The gap in typical household income has widened, and the difference in the share of people born overseas has grown. While both areas have a similar proportion of homes with three or more bedrooms, the housing models differ completely: 99% of households in Cherbourg rent, while 33.9% of Sunshine Coast homes are owned outright.
