Innisfail Mirriwinni

Innisfail and Mirriwinni (L) are nearby Queensland areas with very different characters. Innisfail is a much larger, more diverse hub where 18.2% of people were born overseas and 18% use another language at home. It is also more transient and urban, with 44.4% of homes being rented and 37.6% of residents having moved in the last five years. Mirriwinni (L) is a sparsely populated area dominated by home ownership, with 45.6% of homes owned outright and 97.5% being separate houses. Residents there are more likely to work from home, at 16.8% compared to just 3.9% in Innisfail.

Both areas are remarkably similar when it comes to the typical weekly rent, which sits at around $240 to $250. These gaps in housing and diversity have generally widened since 2011, as Innisfail has become more walkable and multicultural while Mirriwinni (L) has remained car-dependent. Both places have a higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people than the national figure, though this gap is larger in Innisfail at 20.5%.
