Kurrimine Beach South Johnstone

Kurrimine Beach and South Johnstone are two nearby Queensland areas with very different populations. Kurrimine Beach is much older, with a typical resident aged 58 and 36.1% of people aged 65 and over. South Johnstone is younger and has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 19.0%, compared with 3.7% in Kurrimine Beach. Access to services also differs sharply; while 91.4% of South Johnstone homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school, no homes in Kurrimine Beach have that same access.

The gap in the number of children under 15 has narrowed since 2011, though this figure remains well higher in South Johnstone. Both areas share some basics, such as typical weekly personal incomes of around $550 and the same percentage of adults who finished Year 12. They also both have very low rates of public transport use for commuting and similar levels of volunteering.
