Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 5.3 km apart · Evans Landing profile · Rocky Point profile

Evans Landing Rocky Point

Rocky Point (Weipa - Qld) and Evans Landing are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Rocky Point is a larger community where families are common; 27.8% of residents are children, and the typical age is just 29. In contrast, Evans Landing is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical age of 42 and no children under 15. Rocky Point also has far higher typical incomes, with families usually earning $3,339 a week compared to $1,375 in Evans Landing. This wealth and younger age are consistent with a larger First Nations population in Rocky Point (22.5%) and a higher share of people who have completed Year 12.

Both areas are similarly dependent on cars, as neither has any public transport stops or houses within walking distance of groceries. This shared lack of local services stands out against the widening gap in how people move; Rocky Point has seen far more new arrivals, with 53.9% of people moving in over the last five years compared to 24% in Evans Landing. They also share a similar proportion of residents who use a language other than English at home, at around 11%.
