Napranum
2 km²
Low typical incomes and high unemployment mark the community of Napranum. It is a small, remote settlement in Queensland where First Nations people make up a significant part of the population. Many residents face financial hardship, with personal incomes and school completion rates falling far below national figures. Despite these challenges, there is a strong connection to culture, as more people here speak a First Nations language than in most other similar areas.
