Coal Creek Murrumba

Coal Creek and Murrumba are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. Coal Creek is notably older, with a typical resident aged 57 compared to 54 in Murrumba. The two areas show a significant divide in income and housing; typical weekly personal income is well higher in Coal Creek at $710, while Murrumba has far higher typical weekly rents at $260 compared to $90 in Coal Creek. Murrumba also has more people per home, with an average of 3.0 compared to 2.2 in Coal Creek.

Both areas are entirely car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, school, or grocery store. This shared lack of local amenities is consistent across both places, which are also almost identical in their 78 to 79-minute drive time to the city. While they share these characteristics, the gap in typical weekly personal income between the two has remained wide.
