Kennedy Murray Upper

Murray Upper and Kennedy are two small, nearby areas in Queensland. Murray Upper has a much larger First Nations population at 46.8%, and 47.1% of people there speak a First Nations language. It is also the younger of the two, with more children under 15 (20.6%) and more people working from home (20.0%). In contrast, Kennedy has a much older population, where the typical resident is 51 and a quarter of people are aged 65 or over. Kennedy also has a much higher share of people with no religion (38.2%) and more people reporting long-term health or mental health conditions.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining very similar in their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $850. They are also alike in the number of people with university degrees and the number of volunteers. Everyday life in both places is largely car-dependent, with almost no public transport stops or services available in either location.
