Kinvara Lennox Head

Lennox Head and Kinvara are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different characters. Lennox Head is a larger, more active hub where the typical resident is 42 and 19.9% of the population are children. It is a more walkable and affluent area, with 27.7% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, Kinvara is a sparsely populated area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 50. Life here is more car-dependent, and a higher proportion of people live alone (29.6%) or in separate houses (95.8%).

A gap that is clearly widening is how many people have moved into these areas recently; 44.6% of Lennox Head residents arrived in the last five years, compared to just 27.3% in Kinvara. Both areas share similar proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and have nearly the same share of homes with three or more bedrooms. While Lennox Head is somewhat walkable, Kinvara is car-dependent, yet both areas sit well above the national figure for the share of people with no religion.
