Bonny Hills and Bobs Creek are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Bonny Hills is a larger centre where 19.5% of adults have a bachelor degree or higher and 17.5% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. It is more connected, with a walkability score of 3.9 (mostly car-dependent) and 21 street intersections per square kilometre. Bobs Creek is much smaller and more sparsely populated, with far more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (19.3%) and a much higher share of one-parent families at 32.6%.
