Freshwater - Stratford Redlynch

Redlynch and Freshwater - Stratford are neighbouring areas in Cairns with very different housing and transport profiles. Redlynch is a larger area where 90.7% of homes are separate houses and 88.3% have three or more bedrooms. It is mostly car-dependent, with only 39.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Freshwater - Stratford is somewhat walkable, with 71.3% of homes near groceries and 91.6% within a 10-minute walk of public transport. It also has a higher proportion of people living alone at 28.7%, compared to 16.0% in Redlynch.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in different directions across several measures. The gap in separate house ownership has widened, while the difference in the number of children under 15 has narrowed. However, they remain very similar in some areas; they have almost identical shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and very similar typical weekly personal incomes, both around the national figure.
