Flynn Hinkler

Flynn and Hinkler are two Queensland regions with very different age profiles. Hinkler is far older, with a typical resident aged 49 and a high share of seniors (28.6%), compared to Flynn where the typical resident is 39 and children under 15 are well more common (20.7%). This age gap is reflected in health and wealth; Hinkler has a far higher share of people with long-term health conditions (38.6%), while Flynn has a well higher typical household income of $1,530 per week compared to $1,123 in Hinkler.

The gap in typical ages has widened since 2011, moving from 8 to 10 years. Despite this growing difference, both areas are similar in other ways, such as the share of people using another language at home (around 5%) and the prevalence of detached houses. While Hinkler has more homes within walking distance of parks and groceries, both areas have very low rates of commuting by public transport.
