Cassowary Craiglie

Craiglie and Cassowary are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different profiles. Craiglie is a more mobile and diverse hub, where 29.4% of people were born overseas and 51.5% have moved house in the last five years. It has a more active rental market, with 32.4% of households renting, and is mostly car-dependent though it has some nearby parks and shops. In contrast, Cassowary is sparsely populated and more stable, with 50.0% of homes owned outright and a high rate of volunteering at 28.3%.

Both areas have a similar number of people per home, which sits close to the national figure. While they share this household size, they differ in other ways: Cassowary has a much higher share of First Nations residents, who are also far older and earn much less than those in Craiglie. Meanwhile, Craiglie has a higher share of people aged 65 and over and more residents with long-term health conditions.
