Cabbage Tree Island East Wardell

East Wardell and Cabbage Tree Island (Ballina - NSW) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Cabbage Tree Island (Ballina - NSW) has a much younger population, with a typical resident aged 21 and 38.2% of people being children under 15. It also has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 87.6%. In contrast, residents in East Wardell are far older, with a typical age of 44 and a far higher share of seniors. This difference extends to income, with the typical weekly household income in East Wardell being far higher at $1,550, compared to $850 in Cabbage Tree Island (Ballina - NSW).

Everyday life in both places is shaped by a lack of nearby services, as neither area has residents within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. While East Wardell is more likely to have adults working or looking for work (64.5% compared to 21.2%), both areas are similarly isolated from public transport. This gap in employment is consistent with the educational differences between the two, as East Wardell has a far higher share of adults who have completed Year 12.
