Bingil Bay Tully Heads

Tully Heads and Bingil Bay are two nearby Queensland coastal areas with very different populations. Tully Heads is far older, with a typical resident aged 60 and 40.5% of people aged 65 or over. In contrast, Bingil Bay is younger, with a typical resident aged 51 and 19.3% of people under 15. Education and beliefs also differ; Bingil Bay has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (17.8% compared to 5.4% in Tully Heads) and more people with no religion (54.5% versus 35.0%).

Both areas share very similar typical weekly household incomes, sitting just under $1,000. They also both lack basic 15-minute walkability, as no homes in either place are within a short walk of groceries, health services, or schools. While Tully Heads has more full-time workers and more people with long-term health conditions, the gap in the typical age of residents has widened significantly since 2011, growing from a 1 year difference to 9 years.
