Cherbourg Goomeri

Cherbourg and Goomeri (L) are nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Cherbourg is a young community where the typical resident is 23 and 35.1% of people are children under 15. It has a very high Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population of 96.4%, and 99% of its homes are rented. In contrast, Goomeri (L) is much older, with a typical age of 50 and 27.9% of residents aged 65 and over. Housing there is more diverse, with 44.1% of homes owned outright and a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (13.8%).

Both areas share a similar typical weekly household income of around $790 and have almost identical proportions of people who identify as having no religion. They also both have easy access to health services. However, the gaps between them are shifting; the difference in the age of residents and the share of people aged 65 and over has widened since 2011. Meanwhile, the gap in the proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents has narrowed slightly over the same period.
