Wonga Beach Wujal Wujal

Wonga Beach and Wujal Wujal are two small Queensland areas with very different profiles. Wujal Wujal has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 93.5%, compared with 12.6% in Wonga Beach. The two areas also differ sharply in age; Wonga Beach is far older, with a typical resident aged 48 and 25.9% of people aged 65 or over, while the typical resident in Wujal Wujal is just 29. Home ownership is another major divide, as 43.1% of Wonga Beach homes are owned outright, whereas no homes are owned outright in Wujal Wujal.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have generally widened. For example, the difference in the typical age of residents grew from 13 to 19 years, and the gap in typical weekly income rose to $243. Despite these diverging trends, both areas share some basic challenges, as neither has any homes within a 15-minute walk of health services or public transport.
