Hammond Island Injinoo

Injinoo and Hammond Island are both small Queensland communities with very high proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. There are stark differences in their housing and demographics; Injinoo is much younger, with a typical age of 18 compared to 23 on Hammond Island, and far more of its residents rent (94.3% vs 77.5%). While Hammond Island has a higher share of people who finished Year 12 (61.4% vs 38.8%), Injinoo has a far higher share of people who speak little or no English (21.7% vs 8.0%).

Both areas are very similar in their unemployment rates, which sit at 11.9% in Injinoo and 12.8% on Hammond Island. This shared economic challenge exists alongside trends that are moving in opposite directions; for example, the gap in home ownership has flipped since 2011, and Hammond Island has seen a far higher increase in people volunteering and providing unpaid care. Injinoo also offers more walkable amenities and better street connectivity than its neighbour.
