Kanimbla - Mooroobool Mareeba

Mareeba and Kanimbla - Mooroobool are nearby Queensland areas with very different layouts and demographics. Kanimbla - Mooroobool is more walkable, with a typical resident more likely to have finished Year 12 (56.9% compared to 41.7% in Mareeba) and a higher share of people speaking a First Nations language (23.6% versus 6.6%). In contrast, Mareeba has a much larger share of recent overseas arrivals at 20.7% and a notably older population, with 22.2% aged 65 and over.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in different directions, with the gap in overseas arrivals flipping to favour Mareeba and the gap in language use widening. Despite this, they share many everyday realities, including similar unemployment rates and almost identical proportions of people in de facto relationships or those providing unpaid care. Both areas also sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
