Bungalow White Rock

White Rock (Cairns - Qld) and Bungalow are neighbouring areas with very different housing and lifestyles. White Rock is more suburban, with 74% of homes being separate houses and 80.2% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Bungalow is far more compact, where 44.3% of people live alone and renting is common at 58.9%. Bungalow is also much more urban in feel; it is very walkable and nearly 90% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while White Rock is mostly car-dependent with only 11.6% of homes near shops.

Both areas share very similar typical weekly personal incomes around $700 and almost identical rates of volunteering. While they are alike in these ways, the gap in overseas arrivals has widened, with 17.6% of Bungalow residents being recent arrivals compared to 6.9% in White Rock (Cairns - Qld). This trend is consistent with Bungalow having a higher share of people born overseas and those using another language at home.
