Woorabinda Duaringa

Woorabinda and Duaringa are two distinct Queensland areas located about 52 km apart. Woorabinda is a very young area where 35.5% of residents are children under 15 and the typical age is just 23. It has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 91.6% and a higher share of one-parent families (63%). In contrast, Duaringa is much older, with a typical age of 48, and people are far more likely to own their homes outright (41.8%). Typical weekly family income is also far higher in Duaringa at $1,458, compared to $707 in Woorabinda.

Since 2011, the two areas have moved in opposite directions across many measures. The gap in typical age has widened significantly, and the difference in home ownership and the proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents has grown. Despite these shifts, some things remain the same; both areas have similar rates of people using another language at home (around 3.6%) and typical weekly rents are identical at $120.
