Cloncurry Normanton

Cloncurry and Normanton (L) are two Queensland towns located about 341 km apart. Normanton (L) has a far higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people at 57.8%, compared to 28.2% in Cloncurry. This is consistent with Normanton (L) having a much higher share of one-parent families (35.8% against 18.2%) and more people renting their homes (65.9% versus 47.0%). In contrast, Cloncurry has more people who finished Year 12 (42.9% versus 31.0%) and a higher typical weekly personal income of $1,052, compared to $735 in Normanton (L).

The gap in rental shares has widened since 2011, but the two areas share several similarities. They have almost identical proportions of people aged 65 and over (around 10%) and a similar share of people with long-term health conditions. In both towns, no one lives within a 10-minute walk of public transport. While Normanton (L) is generally more walkable, with 92.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, both areas sit well below the national figure for the share of people born overseas.
