Blair Hinkler

Blair and Hinkler are two Queensland areas with very different age profiles and economic settings. Blair is much younger, with a typical resident aged 35 and 22.1% of the population being children under 15. In contrast, Hinkler is far older, with a typical resident aged 49 and 28.6% of people aged 65 and over. This age gap helps explain why Blair has far more people caring for children unpaid, while Hinkler has a much higher share of people living alone. Financially, Blair is better off; its typical household income is $1,576 a week, which is well higher than the $1,123 typical for Hinkler households.

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, such as the typical weekly rent of around $300 to $320 and similar shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. However, the differences between them are often growing. The gap in typical age has widened to 14 years, and the divide in home ownership has increased, with homes owned outright being far higher in Hinkler. Blair also provides much better access to transport, with far more public transport routes and departures than Hinkler.
