Coorparoo Kangaroo Point

Coorparoo and Kangaroo Point are neighbouring areas with very different housing and family profiles. Coorparoo is more established for families, with 14.8% of people under 15 and 49.6% of homes having three or more bedrooms. It is also a major hub for education, with eight schools compared to just one in Kangaroo Point. In contrast, Kangaroo Point is dominated by apartments and smaller households; 62.1% of homes are rented and only 6.1% of the population are children. This makes Kangaroo Point much more transient, with 67.4% of people moving in within the last five years, compared to 52.1% in Coorparoo.

Everyday life in both areas is quite similar when it comes to money and health. They share a typical weekly household income of around $2,100 and have very similar rates of long-term health conditions. While Kangaroo Point has seen much faster population growth since 2021, the gap in the share of people born overseas has narrowed since 2011.
