Koongal Nerimbera

Koongal and Nerimbera are two nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Koongal is a more populated hub where residents are far younger, with a typical age of 35 compared to 46 in Nerimbera. This difference is also seen in their housing and diversity; Koongal has a much higher share of renters at 36.1% and far more recent overseas arrivals at 29.8%, while 51.5% of Nerimbera homes are owned outright. Koongal is also more walkable (mostly car-dependent), with 86.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, whereas Nerimbera is car-dependent and has no residents within that distance of a shop.

While their local environments differ, these two areas have tracked similarly since 2011 in terms of their basic finances.
