Kynnumboon Murwillumbah

Murwillumbah and Kynnumboon are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Murwillumbah is a larger hub where 47% of homes are in a 15-minute-city walkshed, the area is somewhat walkable, and 30.1% of households are renting. In contrast, Kynnumboon is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with 100% of homes being separate houses and a much higher share of homes owned outright at 65.1%. Residents in Kynnumboon are also far older, with a typical age of 54 compared to 46 in Murwillumbah, and are far more likely to work from home at 24.4%.

These differences in layout and lifestyle are stark, yet the two areas track closely in other ways. Both have a similar share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher and nearly identical typical weekly household incomes. However, the gap in stability has widened, as 40% of people in Murwillumbah moved in the last five years compared to just 13.5% in Kynnumboon.
