Manunda Parramatta Park

Manunda and Parramatta Park are neighbouring areas in Cairns with distinct profiles. Parramatta Park is much more transient and diverse, with 38.1% of people born overseas and 58.6% moving in during the last five years. It also has a more highly qualified workforce, with 59.5% of residents completing Year 12. In contrast, Manunda has a larger First Nations population and a more aged community, where people aged 65 and over make up 16.8% of the population. While Manunda has more public transport stops, residents in Parramatta Park generally have better access to health services and groceries within a 15-minute walk.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, with the same typical weekly family income of around $1,500 and an identical number of people per home. Both areas are equally likely to have residents living alone and sharing the same typical monthly mortgage payments. This common ground exists despite a stark difference in housing types; Manunda is dominated by flats and apartments, while townhouses are the most common home in Parramatta Park.
