Bateau Bay The Entrance

Bateau Bay and The Entrance are neighbouring Central Coast areas with very different housing and lifestyles. Bateau Bay is dominated by separate houses, with 79.5% of homes being detached and 79.7% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, The Entrance is a walker's paradise where 52.9% of people live in flats or apartments. Bateau Bay has a younger population and more families, with a higher share of children under 15 (19.2%) and more people caring for children unpaid (27.0%). The Entrance is far older, with a typical resident aged 50 and a much higher proportion of people living alone at 45.5%.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people providing unpaid care. They also share a similar proportion of First Nations residents and a nearly identical drive time to the city. While they are similar in these respects, the gaps in their housing and demographics remain stark; for example, renting is far higher in The Entrance (57.2%) than in Bateau Bay (23.8%).
