Cassowary Mowbray

Mowbray and Cassowary are neighbouring areas in North Queensland. Mowbray is more diverse and mobile, with 34.7% of people moving there in the last five years and 16.9% born overseas. In contrast, Cassowary is more stable and traditional; every home is a separate house, and 28.3% of people volunteer, compared to 13.7% in Mowbray. There is also a large difference in First Nations residents, who are much more likely to live in Cassowary and have a typical age of 46, while the typical First Nations resident in Mowbray is just 13.

Both areas are very similar in their age profiles, with the same share of children under 15 (21.8%) and almost identical proportions of seniors. They also share the same lack of nearby public transport, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of a stop. This common car-reliance is seen in both places, though Cassowary residents are more likely to own three or more vehicles.
