Cloncurry Doomadgee

Cloncurry and Doomadgee are both remote Queensland areas, but they differ sharply in their demographics and wealth. Doomadgee has a much higher First Nations population at 89.3%, compared to 23.8% in Cloncurry. Doomadgee is also far younger, with 31.4% of people under 15 and a typical resident aged just 25. In contrast, Cloncurry is wealthier, with a typical weekly personal income of $1,190, while the typical person in Doomadgee earns $354. Education levels are also higher in Cloncurry, where 42.6% of residents completed Year 12, compared to 17.4% in Doomadgee.

Since 2011, the gaps in age and family size have narrowed, though the divide in income and home ownership has widened. The two areas share some common ground, such as having an identical average maximum temperature of 33.7 degrees and very similar proportions of people who speak a First Nations language. Both are also entirely lacking in public transport, with no homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop.
