Tewantin Gympie Surrounds

Gympie Surrounds and Tewantin are both Queensland areas with older-than-average populations, but they differ sharply in layout and demographics. Tewantin is a more concentrated hub with a higher share of retirees at 32.0% and a larger proportion of people born overseas at 23.1%. It is also far more walkable, with a score of 4.8 (somewhat walkable), while Gympie Surrounds is car-dependent with a score of 0.4. In contrast, Gympie Surrounds is more rural, with 97.1% of homes being separate houses and a higher proportion of children under 15 at 17.5%.
