Maranoa Woorabinda

Maranoa and Woorabinda are two Queensland areas with very different social and economic profiles. Woorabinda is far more likely to be home to First Nations people, who make up 91.6% of its population compared to 9.7% in Maranoa. This is reflected in the age and family structures; Woorabinda is much younger with a typical age of 23 and a high share of one-parent families (63.0%), while Maranoa is older, with a typical age of 38 and more homes owned outright (33.0%).
