Cherbourg Wondai

Wondai and Cherbourg are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different profiles. Cherbourg has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 96.4%, compared to 7.7% in Wondai. This is reflected in the age of residents; Cherbourg is very young with a typical age of 23 and 35.1% of people under 15. In contrast, Wondai is much older, with a typical age of 54 and 34.2% of residents aged 65 and over. Housing also differs sharply, as 99% of homes in Cherbourg are rented, while 40.8% of homes in Wondai are owned outright.

Both areas are alike in that very few people use a language other than English at home.
