Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 12 km apart · Bemerside profile · Lucinda profile

Bemerside Lucinda

Lucinda and Bemerside are two nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Lucinda is much older, with a typical resident aged 60 and 41.4% of the population aged 65 or over. This is reflected in a higher share of people living alone (30.1%) and typical weekly incomes that are far lower, at $1,017. In contrast, Bemerside is younger and wealthier, with a typical weekly income of $1,708 and a much higher share of people caring for children unpaid (31.1%).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining largely rural and car-reliant. They share a very similar rate of volunteering (around 19%) and the same small proportion of people who speak a language other than English at home. While Lucinda is slightly more walkable with a score of 2.2 (mostly car-dependent) compared to Bemerside's 0.0 (car-dependent), both are far below the national figure for public transport access.
