       This locality was considered the third most disadvantaged locality in Noosa Shire at 2011
        with a SEIFA (Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas) relative disadvantage score of 965.8.
Sunshine Beach to Peregian Beach
       The population of Sunshine Beach to Peregian Beach was 10,178 people on census night
        in 2011 (based on place of usual residence), and an estimated resident population of
        10,626 people at 30 June 2011, making it one of the most populous localities. The
        relatively highly populated Sunshine Beach to Peregian Beach locality reflects the strong
        attraction of the surf beach and associated beach lifestyle.
       Between 2011 and 2015, the population was estimated to have grown at a strong average
        rate of around 1.8% each year. However, some of this population growth may have been
        inappropriately assigned to the area (instead of to the faster growing Peregian Springs
        area which is actually outside the LGA), and updated census population figures in 2016
        may inform a revision to these population estimates.
       The median age of residents was 42.3 years in 2011. This was the youngest median age of
        any of the localities, and was lower than the median age for Noosa Shire at 45.9 years, but
        still higher than the median age for Queensland at 36.0 years.
       There was a high proportion of one parent families in this locality with an estimated 12.6%
        of households being one parent households.
       In other respects the locality was demographically similar to the Noosa Shire average.

Federal to Ringtail Creek, including Pomona and Cooran
       This locality had a population of 5,796 people on census night in 2011 (based on place of
        usual residence), and an estimated resident population of 6,051 people at 30 June 2011.
       The median age of the population was 43.6 years in 2011 which was below the median
        age for Noosa Shire at 45.9 years.
       There was a high proportion of one parent families in Federal to Ringtail Creek with an
        estimated 13.4% of households being one parent households. This was the highest
        proportion of any of the localities in the Shire.
       In other respects the locality was demographically similar to the Noosa Shire average.

Noosaville and Doonan
       This locality had a population of 7,800 people on census night in 2011 (based on place of
        usual residence), and an estimated resident population of 8,714 people at 30 June 2011.
       Between 2011 and 2015, the population was estimated to have grown at a strong average
        rate of around 2.1% each year which was the highest average annual growth rate of any of
        the localities.
       The median age of the population was 48.9 years in 2011 which was above the median
        age for Noosa Shire at 45.9 years, and much older than the median age for Queensland at
        36.0 years.
       A high proportion of the population was born overseas at 27.8% compared to other
        localities, Noosa Shire and Queensland. Over 80% of people born overseas were born in
        English speaking countries, and about 60% were born in either New Zealand or the United
        Kingdom.
       A high proportion of households in this locality were couple families without children and
        lone person households. Of all households, 38.6% were couple families without children
        and 27.0% were lone person households.
