Coen

2 km²

Most daily trips in Coen involve a car, as the town is largely dependent on vehicles for basic needs. It is a small, remote community where the typical First Nations resident is noticeably older than the national figure. While the town is sparsely laid out, a high proportion of homes are within a short walk of groceries. This creates a distinct pocket of accessibility in an otherwise car-reliant setting in Far North Queensland.
