Cromarty Shirbourne

Shirbourne and Cromarty are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. Shirbourne has a much younger population, with 29.2% children under 15 compared to just 7.0% in Cromarty. This helps explain why Shirbourne has far more one-parent families (18.4%) and a higher share of people in de facto relationships (17.9%). In contrast, Cromarty is an older area where the typical resident is 56, and it has a much wealthier population; typical weekly personal income is $900, far higher than the $537 seen in Shirbourne.

Both areas have similar rates of overseas birth and are entirely car-dependent, as neither has a walkable score. This shared reliance on cars is a common feature for these nearby areas. While their demographics differ, both sit near the national figure for volunteers, with 15.8% in Shirbourne and 26.5% in Cromarty. Despite these similarities, the two areas have diverged in other ways, with 37.5% of Cromarty's residents having moved in the last five years, while no one in Shirbourne has moved in that time.
