Doomadgee Mornington

Doomadgee and Mornington are two small Queensland areas with populations around 1,000 to 1,400 people. They differ sharply in housing and language; 89.1% of Doomadgee homes are separate houses compared to just 36.8% in Mornington. Language use also varies, with 39.8% of people in Mornington speaking a First Nations language, compared to 2.1% in Doomadgee. Other gaps include recent overseas arrivals, who make up 45.9% of Doomadgee but 0.0% of Mornington.

Everyday life is similar in both places, as they have almost the same share of people born overseas (around 2.8%) and similar levels of university qualifications. Both areas also have just one school and very few people working from home. While they share these traits, some gaps are changing: the difference in the number of people living alone has narrowed slightly, but the gap in the share of separate houses has widened since 2011.
