By Location

Redlynch valleyo High concentration of 0 to 4 year oldso Low concentration of 15 to 24 year oldo Reason: This area has a high number of young children but a low number of

schooling children indicating that people may move here to escape the city life and

have the chance to sprawl but once their children are of age to be in schools they

more to an area more suited to their education needs.

Aerogleno High concentration of 0 to 4 year oldso Low concentration of Indigenous peopleo Reason: This area contains the international airport and has the space required for

families with newborns to settle. The closeness of the airport deters the locating of

indigenous persons.

Freshwatero High concentrations of 15 to 24 year oldso Low concentrations of Low income houseso Reason: This area is mostly probably an area with some education systems

established; both private and public, and the prevalence of the public schools

encourage houses with high income to settle. This area is also a tourist area, being

one of the stops on the Kuranda Scenic Railway so it has the environmental appeal

necessary to raise home prices.

City (CBD)o High concentrations of 15 to 24 year olds and High income houseso Low concentrations of 0 to 4 year olds, Indigenous persons and Low income houseso Reason: this area is populated with Young adults as they enjoy the lifestyles and

education opportunities afforded to them in the city. The low concentration of

young children is based upon space requirements while indigenous and low income

houses generally cannot afford the city lifestyle.

Bungalowo High concentrations of 15 to 24 year olds and Low income houseso Reason: Most probably this is an area where there are some high education

establishments based on the concentration of university aged students and low

income houses. Most probably this is a pocket of housing for those attending a local

college or university.

Portsmitho High concentrations of Indigenous people and Low income housingo Low concentrations of 63 to 74 year olds and High income houseso Reason: This is most probably an area with cheap housing or housing commission

accommodations as indicated by the high concentration with the less wealthy

indigenous population and low income houses.

Trinity Beach/Park Areao High concentration of Low income housing

o Low Concentration of 0 to 4 year oldso Reasons: There is a connection between income and the prevalence of 0 to 4 year

olds in that where there are areas with low income concentrated there will be fewer

houses with 0 to 4 year olds; this is a clear connection as the process of having and

raising children is expensive.

o Stratford

o Low Concentrations of 15 to 24 year olds, 65 to 74 year olds, Indigenous persons andlow income housing

o Reason: This area is close to the airport but also to a conservation park so it mostlikely has high housing prices indicating that this area is most likely one where high

income houses come to settle or that it is largely vacant due to the disturbances of

the airport.

This information comes from what I have gathered from the map as well as some online research.

As I am an international student I do not know the surrounding area well enough to make truly

accurate examples and reasoning for some of these trends.
