Argyll Fork Lagoons

Fork Lagoons and Argyll are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. They differ sharply in age and wealth; Fork Lagoons is much younger, with a typical resident aged 28 and 30.3% of the population being children. In contrast, Argyll is far older, with a typical resident aged 50 and 24.0% of people aged 65 and over. Income also varies widely, as typical household weekly income in Argyll is far higher at $5,250, compared to $1,125 in Fork Lagoons.

Both areas are very similar in their lack of overseas births and public transport access. However, the gap in age and health is widening between them, with Argyll now far more likely to have people providing unpaid care (16.0%) and reporting long-term health conditions (20.0%), while neither is reported in Fork Lagoons. This is consistent with the age gap, as Argyll has a much larger share of older adults and seniors.
