Fork Lagoons Gindie

Gindie and Fork Lagoons are two rural areas in Queensland with very different profiles. Gindie is a more established community where residents are far older, with a typical age of 40 compared to just 28 in Fork Lagoons. There are also stark differences in income and education; Gindie has a far higher typical weekly household income of $2,281 and 14.5% of adults hold a bachelor degree, while Fork Lagoons has a typical income of $1,125 and no residents with a degree.

Both areas are car-dependent and lack nearby public transport, reflecting a similar rural way of life. This shared environment is seen in their lack of walkable amenities, as both sit near the national figure for having no homes within a 15-minute walk of health services or groceries. While they share this isolation, Gindie has seen more movement recently, with a far higher share of people moving into the area in the last five years than in Fork Lagoons.
