Age profile
How the population splits across age groups.
There are no children under 15 or seniors aged 65 and over, figures that are far below both the state and national averages. This reflects a skewed age structure, as 47.6% of the population are youth aged 15 to 24.
No residents identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, which is well below the national figure. Most people here have never been married, accounting for 85.7% of the population.
