Marys Creek McIntosh Creek

McIntosh Creek and Marys Creek are neighbouring rural areas with very different resident profiles. McIntosh Creek is much younger, with a typical age of 32 compared to 46 in Marys Creek. This younger population is reflected in a higher share of children under 15 (22.0% versus 12.8%) and a more mobile community, as 51.7% of residents moved here in the last five years. In contrast, Marys Creek is far more likely to have homes owned outright (58.1% versus 30.0%) and a higher share of people doing unpaid housework (40.6% versus 26.6%).

Both areas share a total reliance on cars, with no one commuting by public transport and no homes within walking distance of a park or school. This common lack of local amenities is paired with a similar housing style, as every single home in both places is a separate detached house. While McIntosh Creek has a far higher typical weekly household income of $1,625 compared to $949 in Marys Creek, both areas sit well below the national figure for adult university qualifications.
