Innisfail Mourilyan

Innisfail and Mourilyan (L) are neighbouring Queensland areas with very different layouts. Innisfail is a more urban setting, described as somewhat walkable, where 51.6% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. In contrast, Mourilyan (L) is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of those same services. Innisfail also has a more diverse population, with 18.0% of people using a language other than English at home compared to 6.4% in Mourilyan (L), and a higher share of renters at 44.4% versus 32.3%.

Both areas are very similar in their home sizes and the share of children under 15. These shared family dynamics exist alongside some shifting trends; for example, the gap in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations has narrowed since 2011. While residents in Mourilyan (L) are now noticeably older, the gap in the share of people born overseas has widened, with Innisfail seeing a higher increase.
