Coes Creek Nambour

Nambour and Coes Creek are neighbouring areas on the Sunshine Coast with very different living patterns. Nambour is a very walkable hub where renting is common (38.0%) and many people live alone (32.8%). In contrast, Coes Creek is mostly car-dependent, with nearly all residents living in separate houses (99.1%) and a far higher share owning their homes outright (35.8%). Coes Creek also has larger homes, with 94.1% having three or more bedrooms, and a typical weekly household income that is well higher than Nambour's ($1,628 compared to $1,224).

Daily life in both places shares some common ground, as they have similar numbers of nearby schools and the same average school advantage score. However, the two areas have drifted apart in terms of accessibility. Nambour remains a central point for the region, with a very walkable score of 6.3 and most homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. Coes Creek is much more isolated in this regard, with no public transport stops and a walkability score of 3.1, which means it is mostly car-dependent.
