Murrami is larger and younger, with a typical resident aged 40, while Kooba is sparsely populated and far older, with a typical resident aged 49. There are notable gaps in health and household types: long-term health conditions are far higher in Kooba (35.9% compared to 21.5% in Murrami) and one-parent families are more common in Kooba by 12 points. Murrami also has a higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (8.3%) and a typical weekly family income that is well higher at $1,875, compared to $1,292 in Kooba.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the typical number of people per home, with around 2.8 or 2.9 residents per household.
