Coes Creek Perwillowen

Coes Creek and Perwillowen are neighbouring areas on the Sunshine Coast with very different profiles. Coes Creek is much more family-oriented, with 19.1% of people being children under 15 compared to just 8.5% in Perwillowen. This is reflected in the housing, where Coes Creek has a far higher share of three-bedroom homes (94.1%). Perwillowen is far older, with a typical resident aged 54 compared to 43 in Coes Creek, and it has a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (26.2% versus 13.8%). Coes Creek is also much easier to get around without a car, scoring 3.1 (mostly car-dependent) for walkability, while Perwillowen is car-dependent at 0.8.

These two areas share a very similar everyday financial profile, with nearly identical typical weekly household incomes of around $1,600. They also both have similar rates of people with no religion (about 47%) and almost the same number of people per home. While both are mostly car-reliant, the gap in walkability and access to schools and shops remains a stark divide between the two neighbours.
