Jones Island Oxley Island

Oxley Island and Jones Island are neighbouring areas with very different age profiles. Oxley Island is much younger, with 23.4% of people under 15 and a typical age of 45. In contrast, Jones Island is far older; the typical resident is 57, and 37.8% of the population is aged 65 and over. These differences extend to daily life, with Oxley Island seeing far more people caring for children unpaid (32.7%) and doing more housework (35.1%).

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people living alone, at around 16%. They are also effectively identical in their housing types, as every home in both places is a separate detached house.
