Image Flat Perwillowen

Image Flat and Perwillowen are neighbouring areas in the Sunshine Coast region with very different age and income profiles. Perwillowen is far older, with a typical resident aged 54 compared to 45 in Image Flat, and 27.7% of its people are seniors. This contrast extends to wealth; 26.2% of Perwillowen households earn $3,000 or more a week, while only 15.0% of Image Flat households do. Image Flat is however more diverse and younger, with a much larger First Nations population that earns a typical weekly income of $2,250, far higher than the $900 typical in Perwillowen.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, as almost all residents live in separate houses and every single home has a motor vehicle. Both areas are completely car-dependent, with no public transport stops or routes. They also share similar typical weekly household incomes of around $1,570 and nearly the same proportion of people living alone. While Perwillowen has more homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, both areas remain largely residential with very few walkable amenities.
