Coomera South Stradbroke

Coomera and South Stradbroke are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Coomera is a large, young hub where the typical resident is 29, and 25.6% of the population are children under 15. It is an area of larger homes and higher incomes, with a typical weekly household income of $1,930. In contrast, South Stradbroke is sparsely populated and far older, with a typical age of 53 and 23.9% of residents aged 65 and over. While 55% of homes in South Stradbroke are owned outright, renters are much more common in Coomera, where 53.7% of households rent.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions regarding their age and demographics. They share some commonalities, such as a similar proportion of people born overseas, at around 29%. However, their everyday environments differ greatly; Coomera is somewhat walkable with many people working or looking for work, while South Stradbroke is car-dependent and has a much lower share of adults in the workforce.
