Bargara Qunaba

Bargara and Qunaba are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different layouts. Bargara is a larger, more developed hub where a typical resident is 54 and the area is rated as somewhat walkable. It has a higher share of renters (25.8%) and many more people born overseas (19.0%). In contrast, Qunaba is more rural and car-dependent, with a typical resident aged 48. Homes in Qunaba are overwhelmingly separate houses (99.1%), and 92.7% of properties have three or more bedrooms. Weekly typical incomes are also well higher in Qunaba, at $1,619 compared to $1,261 in Bargara.

Both areas are very similar in the health of their residents, with 38.0% of people in each area living with a long-term health condition. This shared experience sits alongside other similarities, such as a nearly identical share of people with no religion. However, the two areas have moved in different directions recently; Bargara has seen far more people move in over the last five years. This growth is consistent with its better access to amenities, as 93.6% of Bargara homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport, compared to just 9.5% in Qunaba.
