Kuraby Springwood

Springwood and Kuraby are neighbouring areas with distinct profiles. Kuraby is much more multicultural, with 50.9% of people born overseas and 53.5% using a language other than English at home, compared to 30.9% and 16.9% in Springwood. Kuraby also has a higher share of university-qualified adults (36.3% versus 22.8%) and more large homes, with 94% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Springwood is more accessible for pedestrians and public transport users, and it has a larger school system with 5 schools compared to Kuraby's 2.

Many of these gaps have widened since 2011, particularly the difference in overseas births and language use. Despite this, the two areas remain similar in several ways. They share almost identical typical weekly rents, around $380 to $400, and similar rates of people working or looking for work. Both areas also sit near the national figure for the share of people living alone, though Springwood's share of 24.8% is far higher than Kuraby's 12.3%.
