Packers Camp is a family-oriented place where 30.9% of residents are children, and the typical weekly household income is far higher at $2,399 compared to $962 on Fitzroy Island. Residents in Packers Camp are also far more likely to have completed Year 12 (49.0% versus 20.5%) and to hold a bachelor degree or higher.
