Ingham Halifax

Ingham and Halifax (L) are nearby Queensland towns with very different profiles. Residents in Halifax (L) are far older, with a typical age of 58 compared to 49 in Ingham. This older population is reflected in the fact that people aged 65 and over are well higher in Halifax (L) at 34.4%. Accessibility is also a major contrast; homes in Halifax (L) are far more likely to be within a 15-minute walk of health services (98.9%), groceries (98.6%), and a general 15-minute-city walkshed (97.8%), while Ingham is lower in all three areas. Ingham has a younger feel, with children under 15 well higher at 15.8%, and more people who have completed Year 12 (37.5% compared to 27.8% in Halifax (L)).

Both areas are very similar when it comes to the typical weekly family income, which sits around $1,300 to $1,400. They also share a high proportion of separate houses and almost no use of public transport for commuting. Since 2011, several gaps have shifted; the difference in the typical age of residents has narrowed slightly, and the lead in the share of people in de facto relationships has flipped, with Ingham now higher at 10.4%.
