Livingstone Woorabinda

Livingstone and Woorabinda are two distinct Queensland areas with very different profiles. Woorabinda is a young community where 35.5% of people are children and 91.6% are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, compared to 18.1% children and 5.4% First Nations people in Livingstone. There is a large gap in wealth and housing; the typical weekly household income in Livingstone is $1,625, while in Woorabinda it is $684. This is reflected in home ownership, where 36.9% of Livingstone homes are owned outright, but no homes in Woorabinda are owned this way.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who use another language at home, which is around 3%. This commonality exists alongside a growing divide in other areas. The gap in typical household incomes has widened since 2016, and the difference in home ownership and rental rates has also increased. While both areas are completely car-dependent with no public transport, the share of households without a motor vehicle is far higher in Woorabinda.
