Coomba Park Green Point

Coomba Park and Green Point (Mid-Coast - NSW) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Coomba Park is an older community where 39.5% of people are aged 65 or over, compared with 27.0% in Green Point (Mid-Coast - NSW). This age gap is reflected in health and housing; Coomba Park has a far higher share of people with long-term health conditions (49.9% versus 35.4%) and more homes owned outright (62.3% versus 49.3%). In contrast, Green Point (Mid-Coast - NSW) is more active in the workforce, with 54.1% of adults working or looking for work compared to just 28.3% in Coomba Park.

Both areas have tracked similarly in some respects, with almost identical shares of First Nations residents and people using other languages at home. They are also alike in their housing style, as nearly every home in both places is a separate detached house. However, Green Point (Mid-Coast - NSW) is far more connected, with most homes within a 15-minute walk of public transport and parks, while Coomba Park is largely car-dependent.
