Arundel Coombabah

Arundel and Coombabah are neighbouring areas in Queensland, but they differ significantly in age and housing. Residents are far older in Coombabah, where the typical age is 51 compared to 41 in Arundel, and 33.3% of people are aged 65 or over. Arundel has a more qualified workforce, with far more adults holding a bachelor degree (24.1% versus 13.4%) and a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (19.3% versus 8.5%). This is consistent with Arundel having a much higher proportion of separate houses and larger homes with three or more bedrooms.

Everyday life in both places shares several similarities, as they have almost identical proportions of First Nations people (2.0%) and nearly the same unemployment rates. They also have a similar share of renters and a similar number of schools. However, several gaps have widened since 2011, including the difference in typical age and the share of people using another language at home, which is far higher in Arundel.
