Banora Point Cudgen

Banora Point and Cudgen are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Banora Point is much older, with a typical resident aged 49 and 31.8% of people aged 65 and over. It is also more urban, with 40.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 89.2% near a park. In contrast, Cudgen is younger and more residential; the typical resident is 39, and separate houses make up 82.3% of homes. Cudgen also has a higher share of high-earners, with 22.9% of households making $3,000 or more a week, compared to 12.5% in Banora Point.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining alike in several key ways. They share the same typical weekly rent of $440 and have very similar proportions of First Nations people. This stability is seen across many measures, including the typical monthly home-loan payment and a similar rate of people using another language at home. While Banora Point is more connected with more street intersections per square kilometre, both areas see very few people commuting by public transport.
