Manunda and Westcourt are neighbouring areas in Cairns that differ most in how residents access services. Westcourt is far more walkable, with 97.2% of homes within a 15 minute walk of health services compared to just 28.5% in Manunda. Westcourt also has a notably older population, with 22.1% aged 65 and over, while Manunda has a higher share of one-parent families at 30.7%. Manunda has more public transport stops and a higher share of three-bedroom homes, at 40.1% compared to 33.7% in Westcourt.
