Copacabana Kincumber

Kincumber and Copacabana are neighbouring areas on the Central Coast, but they differ significantly in their demographics and housing. Kincumber is an older area where 30.8% of people are aged 65 or over, and it has a much higher proportion of people living alone at 32.3%. In contrast, Copacabana has a wealthier and more qualified population; the typical household income is far higher at $2,143 compared to $1,321 in Kincumber, and more adults hold a bachelor degree or higher (30.3% versus 17.6%). Kincumber also offers more convenience, with 36.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while Copacabana has no homes with that level of access.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the share of people born overseas, which sits around 17%. This commonality exists alongside other similarities, such as nearly equal unemployment rates and very similar drive times to the city. While Kincumber has more public transport options and walkable amenities, Copacabana is dominated by separate houses, which are far more common there than in Kincumber.
