Beach Holm Mount Low

Mount Low and Beach Holm are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different profiles. Mount Low is a larger, younger community where the typical resident is 29 and 28.5% of the population are children. It is more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $2,259, and a workforce where 76.5% of adults are working or looking for work. In contrast, Beach Holm is sparsely populated and much older; the typical resident is 53, and 22.9% are seniors. Weekly household incomes there are much lower at $899, and 40% of people live with a long-term health condition.

Both areas are effectively alike in their low rates of people who speak little or no English and a similar share of volunteers. This shared stability exists despite a wide gap in how the two places are built. Mount Low has far more street intersections and public transport options, while Beach Holm is much more car-dependent. This contrast is also seen in the housing, where typical weekly rents in Mount Low are far higher at $370 compared to $180 in Beach Holm.
