Barmoya The Caves

The Caves and Barmoya are neighbouring areas in Queensland with distinct profiles. The Caves is larger and more connected, with more residents walking to schools, parks, and groceries, while Barmoya is sparsely populated. There are sharp financial differences; Barmoya is far more likely to have homes owned outright (68.0% compared to 34.3% in The Caves) and a much higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (56.0% versus 25.8%).

Since 2011, the gap in how many people have moved into the area has widened, with 24.0% of residents in The Caves arriving in the last five years compared to just 8.9% in Barmoya. Despite this, the two areas share a typical resident age of 40 and the same typical weekly rent of $300. Both areas consist entirely of separate houses and lack public transport, which is consistent with the national figure for very remote or rural settings.
