Hope Island South Stradbroke

Hope Island and South Stradbroke are neighbouring areas with very different scales and characters. Hope Island is a large population centre where the typical household earns $1,934 a week and 59.8% of residents finished Year 12. In contrast, South Stradbroke is sparsely populated with a typical weekly household income of $1,062 and 46.6% finishing Year 12. Hope Island is much more developed, with 80.5% of homes having three or more bedrooms and a walkability score of 3.7 (mostly car-dependent), while South Stradbroke is car-dependent with a score of 0.3.

Both areas share a similar unemployment rate and have roughly the same share of people living with a long-term health condition. This common ground exists alongside a stark contrast in how people move; Hope Island has 63.3% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport, while South Stradbroke has none. The two areas also both have older populations compared to the national figure, though First Nations residents in South Stradbroke are far older, with a typical age of 63 compared to 30 in Hope Island.
