Lake Clarendon Spring Creek

Spring Creek (Lockyer Valley - Qld) and Lake Clarendon are neighbouring rural areas with very different profiles. Spring Creek is much younger, with a typical resident aged 36 and a First Nations population that is far higher at 23.3%. In contrast, Lake Clarendon is an older community where the typical resident is 47 and those aged 65 and over make up 23.5% of the population. Lake Clarendon also has far more adults working or looking for work (57.6% compared to 22.6% in Spring Creek) and a typical weekly family income that is well higher at $1,812.

Daily life in both places is very similar, as almost everyone lives in a separate house and every home relies on a motor vehicle. Both areas have no public transport options and no shops or services within a 15-minute walk. While Lake Clarendon has seen more people move in over the last five years, both areas maintain a similar share of people who speak little or no English.
