Delacombe is a growing hub with a young population, where the typical resident is 33 and 52% of people moved there in the last five years. It has a higher share of working adults (65%) and more recent overseas arrivals (16.7%). In contrast, Beaufort is much older, with a typical age of 49 and a quarter of residents aged 65 and over.
