East Haldon Lefthand Branch

Lefthand Branch and East Haldon are both sparsely populated areas in the Lockyer Valley. They differ sharply in age and family life; Lefthand Branch is far older, with a typical resident aged 59 and 34.8% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, East Haldon is much younger, with a typical age of 35 and 40.0% of the population being children under 15. These different stages of life are reflected in the homes, with East Haldon seeing far more couples with children and larger households of 3.8 people, while Lefthand Branch is mostly couples without children.

Both areas are almost entirely car-dependent, with neither having a 15-minute walk to groceries, schools, or health services. This reliance on cars is consistent across the region, and the gap in drive time to the city remains wide, with East Haldon taking far longer to reach the city. The difference in housing costs is also stark, as typical weekly rents are far higher in East Haldon at $715, compared to $275 in Lefthand Branch.
