Callala Bay - Currarong Jervis Bay

Callala Bay - Currarong and Jervis Bay are nearby coastal areas with very different profiles. Callala Bay - Currarong is a much older community, where the typical resident is 55 and 31.6% are aged 65 or over. It is also where more people own their homes outright, at 54.9%. In contrast, Jervis Bay is sparsely populated and has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 60.0%. Housing there is primarily rented (65.2%), with a typical weekly rent of $90, which is much lower than the $380 seen in Callala Bay - Currarong.

The gap in home ownership has widened since 2011, but the two areas share some common ground. Both have similar proportions of people who use a language other than English at home (around 5%) and similar numbers of people earning $2,000 or more a week. They also face similar challenges with health service access, as no homes in either area are within a 15-minute walk of such services.
