Tully South Mission Beach

Tully and South Mission Beach (L) are nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Tully is a younger, more walkable hub where the typical resident is 38 and 14.7% of the population is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. It has a far higher share of recent overseas arrivals (22.7%) and people who use another language at home (15.7%). In contrast, South Mission Beach (L) is mostly car-dependent and much older, with a typical age of 51. Residents there are more likely to have a bachelor degree (16.9%) and earn over $2,000 a week (10.3%).

Since 2011, the two areas have diverged across several key measures. The age gap has widened as South Mission Beach (L) became far older, and the difference in overseas arrivals and language diversity has grown significantly. Despite these shifts, they remain alike in some ways; both have around 16% of their population under 15 and share very similar typical weekly household incomes of about $1,260.
