Urban Centre comparison ≈ 50 km apart · Bouldercombe profile · Kinka Beach profile

Bouldercombe Kinka Beach

Bouldercombe and Kinka Beach are two small Queensland areas with very different residents and homes. Bouldercombe is a younger area where the typical resident is 46 and families are more common, with far more three-bedroom homes and detached houses. In contrast, Kinka Beach is much older, with a typical age of 56 and 33.7% of people aged 65 and over. This older population is reflected in the housing, as far more people live alone in Kinka Beach, and there is a higher share of flats and apartments. Bouldercombe also has a much higher typical weekly household income of $1,442, compared to $867 in Kinka Beach.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the number of people who use another language at home or the share of residents with no religion. They also both have no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or public transport. While they share these patterns, some of the gaps between them are shifting; for example, the difference in the number of people who have moved in the last five years has widened, and the lead in overseas-born residents has flipped since 2011.
