Aratula Peak Crossing

Aratula (L) and Peak Crossing (L) are both small rural areas in the Scenic Rim, though they differ in their demographics and wealth. Peak Crossing (L) has a much higher share of adults working or looking for work (68.6% compared to 48.9% in Aratula (L)) and a typical weekly household income that is $509 higher. It also has a younger population, with a typical age of 36, whereas the typical resident in Aratula (L) is 43.

Both areas are very similar in their housing styles, with nearly every home being a separate house, and they share almost identical rates of people with no religion.
