Cambridge Gulf Thamarrurr

Thamarrurr and Cambridge Gulf are both sparsely populated areas, but they differ sharply in their makeup. Thamarrurr is an Aboriginal community where 100% of residents identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and 100% use a language other than English at home. It has a much younger profile, with 31.4% of people under 15, and the typical weekly household income is $860. In contrast, Cambridge Gulf has no Aboriginal residents and a far higher typical weekly household income of $4,749. In that area, 90.5% of adults have finished Year 12, compared to 23.7% in Thamarrurr.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining very small in population and having no public transport stops. They are also alike in that almost no one in either place earns $2,000 or more a week. While Thamarrurr has a much higher unemployment rate of 60.0%, Cambridge Gulf sees 95.2% of its adults working or looking for work. This reflects a contrast between an education and health-focused workforce in Thamarrurr and one dominated by agriculture and forestry in Cambridge Gulf.
