Point Arkwright Yaroomba

Yaroomba and Point Arkwright are neighbouring areas with very different housing and income profiles. Yaroomba is a wealthier area, where 30.4% of households earn $3,000 or more a week and separate houses are common. It also has a higher share of families, with 20% of the population being children under 15 and 31.9% of people providing unpaid childcare. In contrast, Point Arkwright has a higher proportion of people living alone (37.7%) and a higher share of renters (39.3%).

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the typical weekly personal income, which sits just under $900.
