Mimili vs Ghan

Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 195 km apart · Mimili profile · Ghan profile

Mimili Ghan

Mimili and Ghan are both sparsely populated areas located nearly 200km apart. Mimili has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 86.3% compared to 10.6% in Ghan. This is consistent with Mimili having a far higher share of people using another language at home (82.7% versus 22.7%) and far more children under 15 (26.7% versus 9.1%). Ghan is far more likely to have residents born overseas (18.9% versus 1.8%) and typical weekly household incomes are far higher at $2,333, compared to $1,286 in Mimili.

These two places are similar in that almost no one uses public transport to commute and nearly half of residents in both areas have no religion. While they share these traits, the gap in home ownership is stark; 84.4% of households in Mimili rent, whereas 50% of homes in Ghan are owned outright. This divide in housing and income has remained a significant feature of these two different remote locations.
