Hinchinbrook Tablelands

Tablelands and Hinchinbrook are two regional Queensland areas with different social and physical profiles. Tablelands has a far higher share of people with no religion (40.1%) compared to Hinchinbrook (21.5%), and a well higher proportion of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (13.8% versus 8.4%). Hinchinbrook is much wetter, with average annual rainfall far higher at 1,651mm compared to 885mm in Tablelands, and it is more convenient for residents, with a far higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (35.2% versus 25.1%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for people with a long-term health condition, with Tablelands at 29.7% and Hinchinbrook at 33.4%. They are also very similar in terms of typical household incomes, which hover around $1,160 a week. While they share a similar proportion of First Nations residents, some gaps are widening; the difference in the share of people born overseas has grown since 2016, and Tablelands has seen a far higher increase in its crime rate over the last five years.
