Noraville and Canton Beach are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Canton Beach is much older, with a typical resident aged 61 and 44.1% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Noraville is younger and has more children, with 18.5% under 15. Noraville also has higher typical household incomes at $1,480 per week, compared to $710 in Canton Beach.
