First Nations in Miami
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities — how many people identify as First Nations, and how they fare on age, schooling, work, income and language. From the ABS 2021 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples Profile; the ABS notes these counts are an undercount.
More than half of First Nations residents in Miami finished Year 12, a figure far above the national average. This success in education is reflected in the local community, where typical incomes are higher and unemployment is much lower than in most other areas.
