Normanton Georgetown

Normanton and Georgetown are two Queensland towns that differ significantly in their social makeup. Normanton has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 57.8%, compared to 4.5% in Georgetown. Families in Normanton are often larger, with 3.0 people per home and a high share of one-parent families (35.8%). Rental properties are also far more common in Normanton, where 65.9% of homes are rented, while Georgetown sees more outright home ownership.

Many differences between the two towns have grown more pronounced since 2011, including the gap in Indigenous populations and the number of people living alone. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain similar in their typical weekly family income, which is around $1,700 to $1,800. Both also show very low rates of people who speak little or no English, and neither town has any residents who commute by public transport.
