Maudsland Upper Coomera

Upper Coomera and Maudsland are neighbouring areas on the Gold Coast with very different layouts. Upper Coomera is more developed for pedestrians, with a walkability score of 5.1 (somewhat walkable) and far more homes within a 15-minute walk of schools, health services, and groceries. In contrast, Maudsland is mostly car-dependent with a score of 2.1 and far fewer local amenities. Maudsland is also wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,576 and 35.9% of households earning $3,000 or more, compared to $1,991 and 20.1% in Upper Coomera.

These two areas are almost identical when it comes to their international connections, with around 29% of residents born overseas. While Maudsland has a much higher share of separate houses and a higher proportion of university graduates, Upper Coomera has far more renters and a much higher number of public transport stops. Both areas have seen similar trends since 2011, remaining largely consistent with one another in their shares of full-time employment and the number of people providing unpaid care.
