Ellis Beach Trinity Beach

Trinity Beach and Ellis Beach are neighbouring areas with very different scales. Trinity Beach is a larger residential hub with a population of 6,594, while Ellis Beach is sparsely populated with only 5 residents. There are stark differences in wealth and accessibility; the typical weekly household income in Trinity Beach is $1,681, which is far higher than the $725 seen in Ellis Beach. While Trinity Beach is considered somewhat walkable, Ellis Beach is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, health service, or grocery store.

These two places are almost equally good for accessing nature, as nearly all homes in both areas are within a 15-minute walk of a park. However, the gap in daily convenience is widening, with Trinity Beach offering far more public transport options and a much shorter walk to the nearest stop. This contrast is also seen in the age of residents, who are far older in Ellis Beach, where the typical person is 54 compared to 42 in Trinity Beach.
