Boreen Point Cooroibah

Cooroibah and Boreen Point are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different profiles. Cooroibah is a family-oriented area where children under 15 make up 18.4% of the population, and 27.3% of adults provide unpaid childcare. It has more large homes, with 89.4% having three or more bedrooms, and a typical weekly household income that is far higher at $1,639. In contrast, Boreen Point is much older, with a typical resident aged 62 and a high share of seniors at 41.2%. It is a more qualified area, where 26.5% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, and 61% of homes are owned outright.

Both areas share a similar cultural makeup, with about 18% of residents born overseas and roughly 3% identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. While Cooroibah is car-dependent, Boreen Point is mostly car-dependent, offering better access to groceries and parks within a 15-minute walk. The two places also both lack nearby public transport and schools, as neither has any homes within a 15-minute walk of these services.
