Hinchinbrook Wujal Wujal

Hinchinbrook and Wujal Wujal are two very different Queensland areas. Wujal Wujal is a small, young community where 93.5% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, with a typical resident aged just 29. In contrast, Hinchinbrook is far older, with a typical age of 51 and a much higher share of seniors at 29.2%. Incomes are also significantly different; the typical weekly personal income in Hinchinbrook is $644, which is far higher than the $332 seen in Wujal Wujal.

Everyday life in both places is similar in that neither area has any public transport stops or departures, and very few people in either community use public transport to get to work. However, other gaps are shifting. While the difference in the share of First Nations people has narrowed slightly since 2011, the gap in typical weekly rents has widened, with Hinchinbrook now $130 more expensive than Wujal Wujal.
