Mossman Shannonvale

Mossman and Shannonvale are neighbouring areas with very different social and economic profiles. Mossman is a more densely populated hub where 20.3% of residents are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, compared to 3.1% in Shannonvale. Life in Mossman is more walkable and urban, with 64.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, whereas Shannonvale is car-dependent. There is a stark gap in incomes; the typical weekly household income in Shannonvale is $1,944, which is far higher than the $1,197 typical in Mossman.

These differences in wealth and housing are widening, with Shannonvale seeing a much higher share of people earning over $3,000 a week and a larger proportion of homes owned with a mortgage. Despite this, the two areas share some common ground, such as a similar number of schools within 3km and nearly identical rates of people providing unpaid care. Both areas also see very low use of public transport for commuting, which is consistent with the national figure for these types of locations.
