Hollywell Hope Island

Hope Island and Hollywell are neighbouring areas on the Gold Coast with very different layouts. Hope Island is far more mobile, with 59.3% of people having moved there in the last five years, while 35.5% of its residents were born overseas. However, it is much harder to get around on foot; it takes a typical resident 36 minutes to walk to the nearest transport stop, and no homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school. In contrast, Hollywell is much more accessible, with a 6-minute walk to transport and 52.6% of homes within 15 minutes of a school.

Everyday life in both places is quite similar, as they share nearly identical typical weekly household incomes of around $1,900 and the same number of people per home. Both areas also have a similar share of residents aged 65 and over. While Hope Island has seen more recent arrivals and a higher share of people who work from home, both areas remain well above the national figure for home ownership.
