Capalaba Victoria Point

Capalaba and Victoria Point are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Victoria Point is far older, with a typical resident aged 49 and 28.6% of people aged 65 and over, compared to a typical age of 39 and 17.7% of seniors in Capalaba. This difference is most visible in their layouts; Capalaba is much more walkable, with 82.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services compared to just 23.3% in Victoria Point.
