Elanora Tugun

Elanora and Tugun are neighbouring areas with very different housing and layouts. Elanora is dominated by larger homes, with 78.7% being separate houses and 90.2% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Tugun has more variety and smaller homes, with only 46.2% being separate houses and 30.2% renting. Tugun is also much more convenient for pedestrians; its walkability score is very walkable, compared to Elanora's somewhat walkable score. This is seen in the access to services, as 88.1% of Tugun residents live within a 15-minute walk of health services, while only 0.5% in Elanora can do the same.

Everyday life is similar in both places, with typical weekly household incomes sitting around $1,740 and nearly identical rates of volunteering at 12.9%. Both areas also have a similar proportion of people born overseas.
