Kalbar Kents Lagoon

Kalbar and Kents Lagoon are neighbouring areas in the Scenic Rim, but they differ sharply in wealth and layout. Kents Lagoon is a sparsely populated area where the typical weekly household income is far higher at $2,083, compared to $1,275 in Kalbar. Kalbar is the more developed hub of the two, with a walkability score of 3.3 (mostly car-dependent) and many more homes within a 15-minute walk of schools, health services, and groceries. In contrast, Kents Lagoon is completely car-dependent and has far more people working from home (30% compared to 11% in Kalbar).

Both areas share very similar home ownership patterns, with about 44% of homes owned outright in each. They also have almost identical typical household sizes and both face a drive time of around an hour to the city. While Kalbar has seen more people move in over the last five years (36.6% compared to 14% in Kents Lagoon), both remain rural locations where very few people use public transport to get to work.
