Curra Gunalda

Curra and Gunalda are neighbouring Queensland areas with quite different demographics. Residents are far older in Gunalda, where the typical age is 55 compared to 45 in Curra. Curra has a more family-oriented profile, with a higher share of children under 15 (18.6% compared to 12.4%) and more people caring for children unpaid. Gunalda is more walkable for its residents, with a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (37.8% vs 2.0%) or a park. Work patterns also differ, as people working from home are far more common in Gunalda (25.0% vs 8.5%).

These two places share a similar economic and social baseline, with nearly identical typical weekly incomes and a very high percentage of separate houses in both. They also have almost the same share of people born overseas and very few residents who speak a language other than English. This common ground exists despite the gaps in age and walkability, with the typical income in both areas sitting well below the national figure.
