Bongaree Sandstone Point

Bongaree and Sandstone Point are neighbouring areas with populations that skew heavily toward older residents. Bongaree is a very walkable hub where 86.1% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, while Sandstone Point is more car-dependent, with only 24.7% of homes in such a walkshed. These two places differ sharply in their housing and demographics; Bongaree has far more people living alone (39.4% compared to 27.4%) and a much higher share of townhouses, whereas Sandstone Point has far more homes with three or more bedrooms (79.3% versus 58.9%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people using another language at home. They also share similar levels of typical weekly personal income, around $500, and an equal number of schools within 3km. While both are well above the national average for age, Bongaree remains the older of the two, with a typical resident aged 67 compared to 62 in Sandstone Point. This older profile is consistent with Bongaree having a higher share of people who need help with daily activities and more long-term health conditions.
