Who lives here — how many people, how old they are, and how communities identify.
Over a quarter of the 75 people in Hensley Park are children under 15, a figure well above the national average. This sparsely populated area has a diverse age mix and a significantly higher proportion of First Nations people than most other regions.
The total population is 75, which is smaller than about 64% of similar areas. The typical resident is 40, making the area a little older than the national figure of 38.
Half the population is older than this age, and half younger.
