Knockrow Lennox Head

Lennox Head and Knockrow are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Lennox Head is a more active hub where 19.9% of people are children and many families are raising young kids, with 31.7% of adults providing unpaid childcare. In contrast, Knockrow is sparsely populated and much older; its typical resident is 53, which is 11 years older than the typical person in Lennox Head. This difference is reflected in their layouts: Lennox Head is somewhat walkable with many homes within a 15-minute walk of parks and shops, while Knockrow is car-dependent and consists almost entirely of separate houses (97.1%).

Everyday life in both places shares a similar financial rhythm, with typical weekly incomes and rents sitting at nearly the same levels. They also have very similar proportions of recent overseas arrivals and people who have served in the Defence Force. While Lennox Head has more people living alone and more townhouses, both areas have seen similar patterns in their typical family earnings over time.
