Coombabah Labrador

Labrador and Coombabah are neighbouring areas with very different housing and layouts. Labrador is a very walkable area where 99.6% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while Coombabah is more car-dependent, with only 2.2% of homes having that same access. Housing differs sharply; 46.4% of Labrador households rent, whereas 41.5% of Coombabah homes are owned outright. Coombabah also has a higher proportion of detached houses (49.3%) and larger homes, with three or more bedrooms being far more common than in Labrador.

These two neighbours have tracked in different directions since 2011, as the gap in renting has widened and the difference in detached housing has grown. However, they remain similar in other ways, such as having nearly the same proportion of First Nations residents (about 2%) and very similar typical weekly family incomes. Both areas are older than the national figure, though residents are noticeably older in Coombabah, where 33.3% of the population is aged 65 and over.
