The Entrance The Entrance North

The Entrance and The Entrance North are neighbouring areas with very different streetscapes. The Entrance is a walker's paradise where 100% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services, and 57.2% of households rent. In contrast, The Entrance North is only somewhat walkable, with 50.5% of homes being separate houses and a much higher share of three-bedroom homes (61.4% compared to 33.2% in The Entrance). This difference in housing and location is reflected in the population, with the typical resident in The Entrance being noticeably older at 50.

Both areas have tracked similarly in many ways, with nearly identical shares of people who have finished Year 12 and a similar drive time to the city. However, the gap in typical household income is quite wide, with those in The Entrance North earning $1,331 a week compared to $971 in The Entrance. This difference in typical weekly income is well above the national figure and marks a clear divide between the two neighbours.
