Cairns North Manoora

Manoora (Qld) and Cairns North are neighbouring areas with distinct social and economic profiles. Manoora (Qld) has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 23.5% and more one-parent families at 34.7%. It also has far more separate houses (38.6%) and a higher share of children under 15. In contrast, Cairns North is more likely to have residents born overseas (33.1%) and adults with a bachelor degree or higher (27.2%). This is reflected in the typical weekly personal income, which is $873 in Cairns North and $629 in Manoora (Qld).

Both areas are very similar in their housing and transport access, with almost identical shares of homes owned outright and nearly everyone living within a short walk of a park. These commonalities sit alongside a few growing gaps; for instance, Cairns North is now far more likely to have residents who have moved in the last five years (58.6%) compared to Manoora (Qld) (44.2%).
