Coomera Hope Island

Coomera and Hope Island are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different populations. Coomera is a young hub where the typical resident is 29 and children under 15 make up 25.6% of the people. This results in more families and larger homes, with 95.4% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Hope Island is much older, with a typical age of 50 and 27.9% of residents aged 65 and over. This shift is reflected in housing, as 40.1% of Hope Island homes are owned outright, compared to just 10.0% in Coomera.

These two areas share a very similar typical weekly household income of around $1,930.
