Normanton Stokes

Normanton and Stokes are two very different Queensland areas located about 98km apart. Normanton is a larger hub where 55.6% of the population is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and 27.0% of residents are children under 15. It is a somewhat walkable area with many homes within a 15-minute walk of schools and groceries. In contrast, Stokes is sparsely populated and car-dependent. It has a much smaller First Nations population (4.0%) and a higher share of adults who finished Year 12 (50.0% compared to 31.3% in Normanton).

Both areas have remained very similar in some respects, such as having no residents who speak little or no English and no public transport use. Since 2011, the two have tracked differently in their work patterns. Stokes has seen a much higher share of people working from home (31.5%) and a high rate of full-time employment (96.3%). Normanton remains more focused on the community, with far more one-parent families (34.2%) and a higher proportion of people working in education and public safety.
