Ormeau - Oxenford
520 km²
A large First Nations population of 4,359 people sets Ormeau - Oxenford apart from other similar areas. This community is characterized by a young and relatively affluent First Nations population, with higher typical incomes and better school completion rates than the state and national figures. While the area is quite walkable for public transport and parks, it remains a sprawling landscape where many homes are far from basic services like health clinics and shops. This blend of strong social outcomes for its Indigenous community and a car-dependent layout defines the region.
