Douglas Hope Vale

Douglas and Hope Vale are two very different Queensland areas. Hope Vale is a predominantly First Nations community, with 88.4% of its people identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, compared with 8.4% in Douglas. Hope Vale is also much younger, with a typical resident aged 28 and 29.8% of the population under 15, while the typical person in Douglas is 46 and only 14.9% are children. This age gap is linked to household types; Hope Vale has far more one-parent families (36.2%), while Douglas has a higher share of people aged 65 and over (20.8%).

Since 2011, the two areas have diverged further in several ways. The gap in typical ages and the number of seniors has widened, as has the difference in typical weekly family income, which is now $808 higher in Douglas. However, some gaps have narrowed, such as the share of people using a language other than English at home. Both areas share a similar climate and a complete lack of public transport stops or services.
