Innisfail vs Herberton

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 94 km apart · Innisfail profile · Herberton profile

Innisfail Herberton

Herberton and Innisfail are two Queensland areas with very different profiles. Herberton is much older, with a typical resident aged 52 compared to 41 in Innisfail. This age difference is reflected in home ownership, where 47.8% of Herberton homes are owned outright, far higher than the 34% in Innisfail. Innisfail is much more diverse, with 16.3% of people using another language at home compared to just 4.0% in Herberton, and a far higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 24% versus 2.5%.

The gap in typical age has widened since 2011, growing from 4 years to 11 years. Despite this, the two areas are very similar in other ways; they have nearly identical shares of people earning over $2,000 a week and similar rates of long-term health conditions. Both are also mostly car-dependent, though Innisfail is slightly more walkable, with a far higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, school, or grocery store.
