Bokarina Currimundi

Currimundi and Bokarina are neighbouring areas on the Sunshine Coast with very different profiles. Currimundi is a much older community, where the typical resident is 45 and 24.1% of people are aged 65 or over. In contrast, Bokarina is far younger, with a typical age of 37 and a smaller share of seniors at 11.3%. Wealth and education also differ sharply; Bokarina has a much higher typical weekly household income of $2,429 compared to $1,467 in Currimundi, and a far higher share of residents who finished Year 12 (65.5% versus 51.3%).

Both areas share a similar mix of residents, with about 17% born overseas and nearly identical rates of volunteering and unemployment. While they are alike in these respects, the gap in their housing styles is stark, as Bokarina has a far higher share of separate houses at 98.6%. This is consistent with Bokarina's higher proportion of large, four-bedroom homes and a much higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week.
