Forster - Tuncurry Green Point

Forster - Tuncurry and Green Point (L) are neighbouring areas with very different housing and layouts. Forster - Tuncurry is a more densely built hub where 64% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of shops and schools, making it somewhat walkable. In contrast, Green Point (L) is car-dependent, with almost all homes being separate houses (98.6%) and many having three or more bedrooms (86.4%). Forster - Tuncurry has a much larger proportion of seniors, with 40.6% aged 65 and over, and more people living alone (36.9%).

The gap in the number of seniors has widened since 2011, moving from a 2.9% difference to 13.6%. Despite this, the two areas are very similar in other ways, such as the typical weekly family income and the share of people who volunteer. They also share a similar profile of home ownership, with just under half of homes in both places owned outright.
