Gold Coast Hinterland Robina

Robina and Gold Coast Hinterland are nearby Queensland areas with very different layouts. Robina is very walkable, with 82.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a "15-minute-city" and a high share of renters at 35.4%. It is also more diverse, with 33.6% of people born overseas and 18.8% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Gold Coast Hinterland is car-dependent, where 95.7% of homes are separate houses and only 15% of homes have a 15-minute walk to local amenities. It is also an older area, with a typical resident aged 46 compared to 39 in Robina.

Both areas share very similar typical weekly household incomes of around $1,700 and have almost identical shares of children under 15. These similarities exist despite a widening gap in housing and diversity. Since 2011, the difference in the proportion of separate houses has grown, and Robina has become notably more diverse than Gold Coast Hinterland.
