Hinchinbrook Yarrabah

Hinchinbrook and Yarrabah are two very different Queensland areas. Yarrabah is a young place where the typical resident is 25 and 29.9% of people are children under 15. It has a very strong First Nations presence, with 95.9% of residents identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and 79.7% speaking a First Nations language. In contrast, Hinchinbrook is much older, with a typical age of 51 and 29.2% of the population aged 65 and over. Incomes are also quite different, with the typical weekly family income in Hinchinbrook at $1,555, which is far higher than the $911 seen in Yarrabah.

Both areas are similarly car-dependent, with no homes within a 10 minute walk of public transport. Despite this shared lack of transport, other gaps are widening. The difference in typical age has grown since 2011, and the gap in language use has increased significantly, as Yarrabah is now far more likely to have people using a language other than English at home. While Hinchinbrook has a much higher share of homes owned outright at 48.7%, Yarrabah has a far higher proportion of renters at 78.6%.
