Ingham Surrounds vs Northern Beaches

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 83 km apart · Ingham Surrounds profile · Northern Beaches profile

Ingham Surrounds Northern Beaches

Ingham Surrounds and Northern Beaches are both rural Queensland areas with similar population sizes, but they differ sharply in age and outlook. Ingham Surrounds is far older, with a typical resident aged 53 and a far higher share of seniors at 29.5%. People there are also more likely to own their homes outright, at 52.8%. In contrast, Northern Beaches is younger, has a well higher share of children under 15 (19.2%), and is far more likely to have residents with no religion (42.4% compared to 20.9% in Ingham Surrounds).

Both areas are almost identical in their share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher, sitting just under 10%. While they share similar levels of full-time employment and a lack of public transport, they have moved in different directions over time. The gap in typical age has widened since 2011, as has the difference in the number of people caring for children unpaid, which is now well higher in Northern Beaches.
