First Nations in Davoren Park
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.
Over 1,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people live in Davoren Park, one of the largest groups at this level. This is a very young population, with a typical age of just 18 years. This gap makes the community noticeably younger than the state and national figures.
