Coondoo Cootharaba

Cootharaba and Coondoo are nearby Queensland areas with very different population profiles. Cootharaba is much larger and more diverse, with 17.8% of people born overseas and 52.8% reporting no religion. It is also wealthier, with 17.7% of households earning $3,000 or more a week and typical monthly home loans of $1,863. Coondoo is sparsely populated and has a much older feel; the typical resident is 58, and 51.2% of people live with a long-term health condition. De facto relationships are also far more common in Coondoo, where 32.4% of residents are in one.

While Cootharaba's typical resident is 48, the gap between the two areas is widening as Coondoo's population becomes even older. Despite this, they share several similarities. Both areas are almost entirely made up of detached houses and have similar typical weekly rents of $365. Residents in both places are equally unlikely to live within a 15-minute walk of a school, health service, or grocery store, and both are far above the national figure for outright home ownership at around 43%.
