Pinbarren is wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $1,625 compared to $1,294 in Cooran, and far more households earning $3,000 or more per week (21.2% versus 11.0%). Working from home is also far more common in Pinbarren (23.6% versus 13.0%). Cooran has more people living alone (24.4% versus 14.1%) and a larger First Nations population, where residents are far older (30 years versus 22 years) and have a much lower typical personal income ($537 versus $1,062).
