Kawana Rockyview

Kawana and Rockyview are nearby Queensland areas with very different social and economic profiles. Rockyview is a wealthier area where the typical household income is $2,897 per week, far higher than the $1,327 typical in Kawana. This gap is reflected in housing, with Rockyview having a much higher share of home owners and larger houses, while Kawana has far more renters at 37.5%. Kawana also has a higher proportion of people living alone (29.4%) and one-parent families (25.8%), alongside a higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 17.5%.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011 in terms of their lack of public transport, as neither has any train or bus stops per 1,000 people. They also share very similar levels of English proficiency and similar school advantage scores. However, while Rockyview has far higher First Nations Year 12 completion at 87.5%, Kawana's typical resident is more likely to live within a 15-minute walk of groceries, schools and parks.
