Keppel Sands Nankin

Keppel Sands and Nankin are two nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Keppel Sands is an older community where the typical resident is 58 and 37.2% are aged 65 and over. It is more walkable (somewhat walkable) with many homes within a 15-minute walk of parks, schools, and groceries. In contrast, Nankin is car-dependent and has a much younger population, with 28.4% of residents being children under 15. Nankin also has significantly higher typical household incomes at $1,699 per week, compared to $931 in Keppel Sands.

These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, with Keppel Sands becoming far more likely to have residents living alone and Nankin seeing a larger share of families with children. Despite these shifts, they share similar levels of volunteerism, almost identical typical weekly rents, and both have no public transport stops. They also both have a very small number of people who speak little or no English.
