Hinkler Kennedy

Kennedy and Hinkler are both large Queensland regions with distinct profiles. Residents are far older in Hinkler, where the typical age is 49 compared to 40 in Kennedy. This older population in Hinkler is reflected in a much higher share of seniors (28.6%) and a higher rate of long-term health conditions (38.6%). In contrast, Kennedy has a well higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (14.8%) and a higher share of children under 15 (19.5%). Kennedy also has a higher typical household income, at $1,414 per week compared to $1,123 in Hinkler.

Both areas sit near the national figure for people who need help with daily activities.
