Minyama Parrearra

Parrearra and Minyama are neighbouring areas on the Sunshine Coast with distinct characters. Minyama is more walkable and better serviced, with a very walkable score of 6.8 compared to Parrearra's somewhat walkable 5.4. This is clear in the local amenities; for example, 92.9% of Minyama homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school, while only 22.9% of Parrearra homes are. Minyama also has a higher share of detached houses (69.8% vs 55.6%) and more people earning $2,000 or more a week. Parrearra stands out for its transport links, with far more public transport stops and a higher First Nations Year 12 completion rate of 47.8%.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, as they share nearly identical typical weekly incomes of around $780 and almost the same percentage of people with no religion. Both areas also have a similar proportion of residents who have served in the Defence Force and a First Nations unemployment rate of 0.0%. While Parrearra has seen more people move in over the last five years, both areas remain well above the national figure for home ownership.
