Tewantin vs Peregian Springs

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 13 km apart · Tewantin profile · Peregian Springs profile

Tewantin Peregian Springs

Peregian Springs and Tewantin are nearby Queensland areas with very different populations. Peregian Springs is a younger hub where 25.1% of residents are children under 15, and 66.0% of people have moved there in the last five years. In contrast, Tewantin is far older, with a typical resident aged 51 and 32.0% of the population aged 65 and over. This age gap is reflected in the homes; Peregian Springs has far more rentals and larger four-bedroom houses, while Tewantin has far more homes owned outright and a higher share of people living alone.

These two areas are effectively alike in their shared local environment, including similar annual rainfall and temperatures, and both have about the same share of First Nations residents. However, the gap in their demographics has widened since 2016, with Tewantin becoming older and Peregian Springs seeing more growth in its working population. This is consistent with the difference in their daily amenities, as Tewantin is far more walkable for groceries and public transport, while Peregian Springs has far more homes within a short walk of a school.
