Edmonton

17 km²

Far more people identify as First Nations in Edmonton than in most similar areas. This community stands out for its young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, with a typical age of just 18. While many residents have easy access to parks and transport, the area is generally less walkable than the state average for daily errands. It is a unique pocket of the Cairns region where cultural heritage and a young demographic shape the local identity.
