Coconuts Innisfail

Innisfail and Coconuts are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different characters. Innisfail is a very walkable hub where 26.8% of people were born overseas and 26.6% use another language at home. It has a higher share of renters (61.9%) and a significant Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 23.5%. In contrast, Coconuts is car-dependent and much older, with a typical resident aged 56 and 33.3% of the population aged 65 or over. Homes there are more likely to be owned outright (52.6%) and are predominantly separate houses (80%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for people born overseas, though they arrive there differently. While Innisfail is much higher than most areas, Coconuts is far below the national average. These neighbours share similar typical monthly home loan payments of around $1,000 and have almost identical terrain slopes. However, their accessibility differs wildly; almost every home in Innisfail is within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services, while no homes in Coconuts have that access.
