Kuranda Tablelands

Tablelands and Kuranda are two Queensland areas with distinct social profiles. Kuranda has a much higher share of people with no religion (51.4% compared to 30.9% in Tablelands) and more adults with a bachelor degree or higher (19.5% versus 8.1%). First Nations residents in Kuranda are also more likely to speak a First Nations language (13.4% versus 1.0%) and complete Year 12 (36.7% versus 15.8%). In contrast, Tablelands is more likely to have First Nations residents (18.5% compared to 12.7%) and has far more schools (8 compared to 2).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several key ways. The gap in university qualifications and the share of people with no religion have both widened. However, they share a similar typical weekly income of around $611 to $622, and both have an equal share of people needing help with daily activities at 4.8%. They also track closely on the use of other languages at home, with both sitting between 7.2% and 7.5%.
