Fisher Healy

Healy and Fisher (Qld) are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different profiles. Healy is a larger, younger area where the typical resident is 33 and many families live in large separate houses. Typical weekly household incomes are far higher in Healy at $3,024, compared to $1,625 in Fisher (Qld). Fisher (Qld) is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical age of 55 and a far higher share of people aged 65 and over (27.7%).

Both areas are similar in that they sit near the national figure for people with no religion, with 40.6% in Healy and 26.2% in Fisher (Qld).
