Injinoo Mapoon

Injinoo and Mapoon are small Queensland communities with very young populations, though Injinoo is notably younger, with a typical resident aged 18 compared to 27 in Mapoon. Injinoo has far more children under 15 (42.8% vs 31.1%) and a much higher share of people using another language at home (80.9% vs 34.4%). These factors are consistent with Injinoo having a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population and more people who speak little or no English. In contrast, Mapoon has a much higher share of people with no religion (51.8% vs 18.9%) and a higher unemployment rate (28.3% vs 11.9%).

Both areas share a similar social structure, with almost identical shares of one-parent families and people providing unpaid care. They also lack most common walkable amenities, such as groceries or health services, within a 15-minute walk. However, the gaps in several areas are widening; for example, the difference in the share of children and those using other languages at home has grown significantly since 2011.
