Cooroibah Noosaville

Noosaville and Cooroibah are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Noosaville is a somewhat walkable hub where residents are far older, with a typical age of 56 and 37.4% aged 65 or over. It has a more mobile and diverse population, with 28.5% born overseas and 46.7% moving in during the last five years. In contrast, Cooroibah is car-dependent and more residential; 97.7% of its homes are separate houses and a much higher share, 89.4%, have three or more bedrooms.

These two areas share several similarities, including almost identical typical weekly rents and typical family incomes. They also have nearly the same unemployment rates and a similar proportion of people who served in the Defence Force. While Noosaville has far more public transport and amenities within walking distance, both areas have seen steady patterns in their home loan payments and the number of people who use another language at home.
