Horn Island Umagico

Horn Island (L) and Umagico (L) are two nearby Queensland areas with very different economic profiles. Umagico (L) is much younger, with a typical resident aged just 20 and a far higher share of children under 15 (41.4%). It also has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (89.8%) and a far higher unemployment rate of 34.5%. In contrast, Horn Island (L) is far more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $1,578 and a far higher share of residents who finished Year 12 (52.7%).

Everyday life in both places is similar in that neither has a home within walking distance of a school, health service, or public transport. They also share similar rates of long-term health conditions, around 15%, and very few residents in either area need help with daily activities. While the gap in typical age has narrowed since 2011, the difference in household income has widened. Both areas sit far below the national figure for typical weekly rents, though Horn Island (L) is far higher than Umagico (L).
