Diamond Valley Mooloolah Valley

Mooloolah Valley and Diamond Valley are neighbouring areas on the Sunshine Coast with very different layouts. Mooloolah Valley is more developed, with a typical resident aged 40 and a typical weekly income of $768. It is much more connected, with a walkability score of 2.9 (mostly car-dependent) and far more homes within a 15-minute walk of schools, groceries, and parks. In contrast, Diamond Valley is more isolated with a walkability score of 0.2 (car-dependent) and a much older population, where the typical resident is 50.

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining alike in several key ways. They share almost identical rates of people born overseas and adults with a bachelor degree or higher. They also have the same typical number of people per home and an identical age for First Nations residents. While Diamond Valley has a far higher share of homes owned outright at 39.4%, both areas see a large number of residents who identify as having no religion.
