Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 9.0 km apart · Noosaville profile · Peregian Springs profile

Noosaville Peregian Springs

Peregian Springs and Noosaville are neighbouring areas that offer very different lifestyles. Peregian Springs is a young hub for families, where children under 15 make up 25.1% of the population and 35.9% of adults provide unpaid childcare. In contrast, Noosaville is much older, with a typical resident aged 56 and a high proportion of seniors (37.0%). These differences extend to their homes: Peregian Springs has far more large separate houses and a higher share of renters, while Noosaville has more people living alone and more homes owned outright (46.1%).

The gap in home ownership has widened since 2016, reflecting these different life stages. Despite this, the two areas share a similar professional profile, with about 24% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher and nearly identical shares of high earners. They also both have very low rates of people who speak little or no English and similar typical monthly mortgage payments of around $2,000.
