Coconuts South Johnstone

South Johnstone and Coconuts are two nearby Queensland areas with very different demographics. South Johnstone has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 19.0%, compared to 5.8% in Coconuts. Coconuts is far older, with a typical resident aged 56 and 33.7% of people aged 65 and over, while the typical resident in South Johnstone is 45 and only 17.0% are seniors. There are also notable gaps in education and housing; 47.8% of Coconuts residents completed Year 12 compared to 31.7% in South Johnstone, and renting is far more common in Coconuts at 40.0% versus 25.6% in South Johnstone.

Everyday life is similar in both places, as both are car-dependent and have almost no residents who use public transport to commute. They share a similar typical weekly household income of around $1,100. While some gaps are widening, such as the difference in the number of seniors and people in de facto relationships, other differences are narrowing.
