Coominya Wivenhoe Hill

Coominya and Wivenhoe Hill are nearby areas in Queensland with very different profiles. Coominya is a larger community where the typical resident is 50, while Wivenhoe Hill is sparsely populated and has a much younger typical age of 20. There are also stark differences in wealth; the typical household income in Wivenhoe Hill is $4,499 per week, which is far higher than the $1,231 typical weekly household income in Coominya. Coominya has more amenities, with 18.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, compared to none in Wivenhoe Hill.

Daily life in both places is car-dependent, as neither area has a high walkability score. Both are also located about an hour's drive from the city and have no homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. These similarities exist despite the distance between them in other areas, such as the fact that residents in Coominya are far older and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population is far larger than in Wivenhoe Hill.
