Currumbin Valley is a wealthier, more active community where the typical weekly household income is $2,278, far higher than the $1,041 seen in Glengarrie. It has a younger feel, with 19.9% of residents being children under 15, while Glengarrie is far older, with a typical resident aged 51 and a third of the population aged 65 and over.
