Foreshores Rodds Bay

Foreshores and Rodds Bay are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. Foreshores is a more family-oriented place, where 16.9% of residents are children and 25.4% of adults provide unpaid childcare. This is a contrast to Rodds Bay, which has no children and a much higher proportion of seniors, with 45.1% of people aged 65 and over. Financial profiles also differ sharply; the typical weekly family income in Foreshores is $2,125, which is far higher than the $1,303 seen in Rodds Bay.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining largely car-dependent with no public transport and no schools within a short walk. They share a similar proportion of First Nations residents and an almost identical number of people per bedroom. While Rodds Bay has far more homes owned outright, both areas sit well above the national figure for this type of ownership.
