A border town that skews older, not slower.
Tweed Heads sits on the border, the Queensland line running down the middle of the twin town with Coolangatta, but its economics are set by who lives here rather than where the line falls. Population is 9,176, median age is 55, and 35.9% of the town is over 65, an age profile closer to a retirement coast than a working city. That doesn't mean the place is idle: construction counts 2,094 businesses across the Tweed council area, more than any other trade, because retirees renovate, downsize and build almost as often as anyone else does.
Ask a local business owner why the website is still a Facebook page and the answer is usually money, not neglect: median household income here is $1,138 a week, and a project that doesn't obviously pay for itself gets pushed to next quarter, every quarter. But median family income is $1,487 a week, and 860 local businesses are already competing for people who do have that to spend, on health care, real estate and the retail trade that services an older population. With 18.7% of the town under 25 and the rest older and set in their habits, a site here doesn't need to chase trends, it needs large type, a phone number that's easy to find and prices stated plainly, because a 55-year-old choosing between a physio and a podiatrist is not going to pinch-zoom to find one.
