Cardwell Ellerbeck

Cardwell and Ellerbeck are neighbouring Queensland areas with very different residential profiles. Cardwell is more urban and transient, with a walkability score that is mostly car-dependent and a much higher share of renters (38.6% compared to 5.6% in Ellerbeck). It is also an older area; the typical resident is 60, and 39.5% of the population are seniors. This is consistent with Cardwell having a much higher share of people with long-term health conditions (42.0%) and a far higher number of people born overseas (16.1%).

Both areas share a similar typical weekly household income, around $800. They are also alike in that almost no one uses public transport and about 11% of their populations are children. While Ellerbeck is more likely to be a place of separate houses and families caring for children, Cardwell has more people moving in recently and a higher proportion of adults with university degrees.
