Bargara and Ashfield (Qld) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Bargara is a much older community, where the typical resident is 54 and 35% are aged 65 or over. Ashfield (Qld) is far younger, with a typical age of 32 and 24.3% of people under 15. This divide is seen in the homes and income; Ashfield (Qld) has far more large families in four-bedroom houses and a typical weekly household income of $2,315, while Bargara's typical income is $1,261 and more people live alone.

Both areas have similar shares of First Nations residents, and both sit near the national figure for those who speak a First Nations language.
