Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 5.4 km apart · Coolabine profile · Gheerulla profile

Coolabine Gheerulla

Gheerulla and Coolabine are two neighbouring rural areas with very different profiles. Gheerulla is the larger of the two and has a younger feel, with a typical resident aged 44 and a much higher share of children under 15 (21%). It is also more affluent, with a typical family income of $1,797 per week—well higher than the $1,281 seen in Coolabine. In contrast, Coolabine is far older, with a typical resident aged 53, and has a much higher share of renters (38.9%) and people living alone (38.9%).

Both areas are effectively identical when it comes to the number of adults with a bachelor degree or higher, at around 15%. This shared educational level sits alongside other similarities, such as both having no public transport stops and the same proportion of residents who served in the Defence Force. While they share these traits, they are moving in different directions; for example, the gap in the number of people working from home has widened, with this practice now far more common in Coolabine.
