Bundall is much wealthier, with 29.3% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 11.1% in Southport (Qld). This difference is reflected in the homes; Bundall is dominated by separate houses (73.6%) and larger properties, while Southport (Qld) has a high share of renters (57.9%) and flats or apartments (54.6%). Southport (Qld) is also more accessible, with far more public transport departures and a higher share of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop.
