Sunnybank Jimboomba

Jimboomba and Sunnybank are nearby Queensland areas with very different characters. Sunnybank is a diverse hub where 53.1% of people were born overseas and 55.0% use a language other than English at home. It has a highly qualified workforce, with 33.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Jimboomba is dominated by separate houses (97.2%) and is much more car-dependent, with a 37-minute drive to the city and a typical 23-minute walk to public transport.

Since 2011, these two areas have drifted further apart in several ways, with the gaps in overseas births and university qualifications widening. They do share some common ground, such as similar typical weekly rents of around $390 to $400 and nearly identical household sizes. Both areas also have a similar share of one-parent families, sitting around 13% to 14%.
