Croydon Mornington

Mornington and Croydon are two sparsely populated areas in Queensland, separated by about 330 km. Mornington has a much larger First Nations population at 80.2%, and 39.8% of its people speak a First Nations language, compared to 28.6% and 0% in Croydon. Residents in Mornington are also more likely to use another language at home (34.6% versus 2.6%) and live in rented townhouses, while Croydon has a higher share of separate houses. In contrast, Croydon sees much higher typical incomes, with a typical weekly household income of $1,375 compared to $855 in Mornington.

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, as neither area has any public transport stops and both have a similar rate of long-term health conditions. However, some gaps are widening; the difference in typical household income has grown since 2011, and more people in Croydon now live alone than in Mornington. Other gaps have narrowed, such as the difference in the share of one-parent families and the number of homes without a motor vehicle.
