Pentland Torrens Creek

Pentland and Torrens Creek are both sparsely populated Queensland areas, though they differ in their age and housing profiles. Torrens Creek is far older, with 63% of its residents aged 65 and over, compared to 32.3% in Pentland. Torrens Creek also has a much higher share of larger homes, with 70.8% having three or more bedrooms, while Pentland sits at 54.1%. In contrast, Pentland is more likely to have renters (19.3% versus 0%) and people living alone (41.3% versus 29.2%).

Everyday life in both places is very similar in some ways, as they have almost the same share of people born overseas and neither has any residents who speak a language other than English. Both areas also lack public transport and have no homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. While Pentland is more walkable—with over half its homes within 15 minutes of groceries and a school—Torrens Creek has a much higher rate of adults working or looking for work at 77.5%, compared to 47.7% in Pentland.
