Kinka Beach Mulambin

Mulambin and Kinka Beach are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different demographics. Mulambin is a younger area where the typical resident is 38, and children under 15 make up 23.7% of the population. This helps explain why more people here are caring for children unpaid (33.1%) and why homes tend to be larger, with 91.2% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Kinka Beach is much older; the typical resident is 56, and 33.7% of people are aged 65 and over. This is reflected in the housing, where homes owned outright are far more common at 52.2%.

Both areas share a similar First Nations population of about 6%. They also both lack local amenities within walking distance, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, schools, or health services. While they share these similarities, Mulambin has a much higher typical household income of $2,045 compared to $867 in Kinka Beach.
