Innisfail Johnstone

Innisfail and Johnstone are nearby Queensland areas with distinct profiles. Innisfail is a more diverse hub, with a far higher share of First Nations people (18.8%) and those using another language at home (16.3%). It also has a far higher rental rate of 41.9% and is mostly car-dependent, though more walkable than its neighbour. In contrast, Johnstone is more residential and stable, with a far higher share of homes owned outright (46.9%) and a population that is noticeably older, with a typical age of 47.

Both areas share very similar weather, including nearly identical annual rainfall and typical temperatures. They also have the same typical weekly rent of $250 and similar household sizes, with an average of 2.4 people per home.
