Causeway Lake Cooee Bay

Cooee Bay and Causeway Lake are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different profiles. Cooee Bay is a more populated, somewhat walkable hub where 18.5% of adults have a bachelor degree or higher and 50.5% finished Year 12. In contrast, Causeway Lake is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with far lower shares of residents holding a degree (7.8%) or completing Year 12 (33.3%). This gap extends to income and employment, with Cooee Bay having a much higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (13.2% compared to 0.0%) and a much lower unemployment rate (4.1% versus 18.0% in Causeway Lake).

Despite these gaps, the two areas share a very similar housing landscape, with both having around 68% separate houses and almost identical typical weekly household incomes of about $1,210. They also both lack nearby public transport. While they share these basics, the two areas are moving in different directions; for example, residents in Causeway Lake are now far older, with a typical age of 55 compared to 46 in Cooee Bay.
