Benaraby Boyne Island

Boyne Island and Benaraby are nearby Queensland areas with very different characters. Boyne Island is a more urban-style place where 32.3% of households rent and the typical resident is 37. It is described as somewhat walkable, with 61.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and 59.9% near groceries. Benaraby is car-dependent and has a more affluent profile, with a typical weekly household income of $2,435 compared to $1,870 in Boyne Island, and a much higher share of households earning over $3,000 a week (33.5% versus 22.3%).

These two areas share many core traits, including similar proportions of First Nations people, volunteers, and those caring for children.
