Metung Raymond Island

Metung and Raymond Island (L) are neighbouring coastal areas with very different resident profiles. Raymond Island (L) is much older, with a typical resident aged 68 and 59.1% of people aged 65 or over. This is contrasted with Metung, where the typical resident is 60 and 37.9% are seniors. Metung is more active and accessible; far more people there are working or looking for work (45.5% compared to 28.9% on the island) and the typical weekly household income is well higher at $1,240. Metung also has much better access to essentials, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, schools, and health services.

These differences have become more pronounced over time, particularly with the age gap between the two areas widening since 2011. Despite this, the two places share some similarities, such as having very few people who speak a language other than English at home. They also both have a very high proportion of detached houses and very few homes without a motor vehicle. Both areas are far above the national figure for home ownership, though this is far higher on Raymond Island (L), where 73.5% of homes are owned outright.
