Innisfail Coconuts

Innisfail and Coconuts (L) are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different profiles. Innisfail is a larger, more diverse hub where 20.5% of residents are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and 25.4% have recently arrived from overseas. It is also a more walkable place, with a score of 4.2 (somewhat walkable) and many homes within a 15-minute walk of schools, health services, and groceries. Coconuts (L) is a much smaller, car-dependent area with a score of 1.3. It has a significantly older population, where the typical resident is 56 and 33.7% of people are aged 65 or over.

The gap in the age of residents has widened since 2011, growing from 10 to 15 years. Despite this shift, the two areas remain alike in some ways, such as their similar rates of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (around 10%) and typical weekly rents of about $240 to $255. While Innisfail is much younger and more diverse, both areas sit below the national figure for university qualifications.
