Daintree Tablelands

Tablelands and Daintree are two rural Queensland areas with distinct social and economic profiles. Daintree is far more secular, with 46.3% of people reporting no religion compared to 30.9% in Tablelands. Daintree also has a much higher share of people who speak a First Nations language (19.0% versus 1.0%) and a higher rate of Year 12 completion among First Nations students (36.9% versus 15.8%). The two areas differ in their industries, with Tablelands seeing a much higher share of people working in agriculture, forestry and fishing, while Daintree has more people in accommodation and food services.

Typical weekly household incomes are almost identical in both places, sitting around $1,200. This shared financial baseline exists alongside other similarities, such as the typical number of people per home. However, some gaps are widening; the difference in the number of adults working or looking for work has grown since 2011, and Daintree has become increasingly older than Tablelands over the same period.
