Dakabin Kurwongbah

Dakabin and Kurwongbah are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Dakabin is a younger, more transient place where the typical resident is 30 and 60.6% of people moved there in the last five years. It is a hub of rental properties, with 61.4% of homes rented, and is considered somewhat walkable. In contrast, Kurwongbah is much older, with a typical age of 42, and is dominated by homeowners who own 37.1% of their homes outright. It is far more car-dependent, with most residents living in separate houses and very few within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services.

These two areas have seen the gap in their housing patterns widen over time, as Dakabin has become far more rental-heavy compared to Kurwongbah. Despite this, they share a similar level of educational attainment, with about 15% to 16% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. They also track closely on the typical weekly rent, which is around $360 in both places.
