Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 3.8 km apart · Arundel profile · Labrador profile

Arundel Labrador

Labrador and Arundel are neighbouring areas on the Gold Coast with very different lifestyles. Labrador is a very walkable area where 99.8% of homes are within a 10 minute walk of public transport, but it has a higher share of renters (46.4%) and more people living alone (38.2%). In contrast, Arundel is dominated by separate houses (82.7%) and larger family homes, with 89.9% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms. Arundel also has a higher proportion of high-income households, with 19.3% earning $3,000 or more a week, compared to 8.9% in Labrador.

The gap in housing types has widened since 2011, as Arundel has become even more dominated by detached houses. Despite this, the two areas share several commonalities, such as similar proportions of people who speak little or no English and a nearly identical share of First Nations residents. Both areas also have a similar number of public transport routes and roughly the same percentage of residents who have served in the Defence Force.
