Mapoon vs Napranum

Council (LGA) comparison ≈ 65 km apart · Mapoon profile · Napranum profile

Mapoon Napranum

Napranum and Mapoon are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. Mapoon has a much higher share of people who speak a First Nations language (42.6% compared to 18.6% in Napranum) and a far higher unemployment rate (27.0% versus 15.9%). While Napranum is more likely to have homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, Mapoon has far more separate houses, accounting for 95.7% of its dwellings compared to 77.9% in Napranum.

Both areas have a similar share of people with no religion, which sits near the national figure. They are also very alike in their typical age (27 years), typical family income ($924 a week), and a high proportion of renters. However, some gaps have shifted since 2011; Mapoon now has a far higher share of people using another language at home, and it is now far more common for people in Mapoon to provide unpaid childcare.
