Granadilla Mission Beach

Mission Beach and Granadilla are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different layouts. Mission Beach is more developed and walkable, with a walkability score of 3.0 (mostly car-dependent) and 43.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Granadilla is sparsely populated and entirely car-dependent, where 100% of homes are separate houses. There are also stark differences in housing and demographics; Mission Beach has a much higher share of renters at 35.0%, while Granadilla has a higher share of homes owned outright at 52.8%.

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011, sharing many common traits today. They have nearly identical typical weekly household incomes, around $1,300, and almost the same percentage of adults working or looking for work. Both areas are also very similar in the share of people in de facto relationships and the number of one-parent families. While Mission Beach is more diverse and attracts more new arrivals, both remain predominantly reliant on cars for travel.
