Cooroibah Tewantin

Tewantin and Cooroibah are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different layouts. Tewantin is a more urban place where the typical resident is 52 and the area is somewhat walkable. It has a far higher share of people aged 65 and over (31.9%) and those living alone (28.3%). In contrast, Cooroibah is car-dependent and more rural, with a higher share of children under 15 (18.4%) and a much higher proportion of separate houses (97.7%). A striking difference is in education; First Nations Year 12 completion is far higher in Cooroibah at 77.3%, compared to 41.7% in Tewantin.

These two areas share very similar typical weekly incomes, around $640 to $660, and similar rates of university degrees. However, the gap in walkability remains vast, as Tewantin has far more public transport and grocery stores within walking distance. This difference in accessibility is mirrored in how people live; Tewantin has a far higher share of renters (25.5%) and one-person households, while Cooroibah has more families in larger homes.
