Daleys Point Empire Bay

Empire Bay and Daleys Point are neighbouring areas with very different populations. Empire Bay is more family-oriented, with a typical resident aged 42 and 19.9% of people being children under 15. It has a higher share of separate houses (93.3%) and larger homes, with 81.3% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Daleys Point is much older; its typical resident is 59, and 42.4% of the population are seniors aged 65 and over. This age gap is reflected in the homes, as Daleys Point has a much higher share of people living alone (32.6%) and more flats or apartments.

While these two areas are moving apart in terms of age and family size, they share several other traits. Both have the same unemployment rate (3.5%) and nearly identical shares of people who have completed Year 12. They are also almost exactly the same distance from the city, with drive times of 66 and 67 minutes. This common ground exists alongside a stark difference in accessibility; Empire Bay is far more walkable, with 73.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of local amenities, while Daleys Point has no homes with this level of access.
