Guanaba Maudsland

Maudsland and Guanaba are neighbouring areas in the Gold Coast, but they have very different demographics. Maudsland is a young, fast-growing hub where 26.8% of people are children under 15 and the typical resident is 34. Guanaba is much quieter and older; its typical resident is 46, and 15.8% of its population is aged 65 or over. This difference is seen in the homes, too. In Guanaba, 38.1% of homes are owned outright, while in Maudsland, a much lower 14.8% are owned without a mortgage. Maudsland is also more connected, with a walkability score of 2.1 (mostly car-dependent) compared to Guanaba's 0.1 (car-dependent).

Both areas share a similar feel in some respects, with nearly identical rates of people who have no religion and the same typical monthly mortgage payment of $2,167. They also both have very low rates of people who speak little or no English. While Maudsland is more walkable and has more public transport stops, both are largely dependent on cars for getting around. This contrast in accessibility and age has remained distinct, with Maudsland seeing a far higher share of people moving in over the last five years (56.3%) than Guanaba (31.0%).
