Mudjimba Yaroomba

Mudjimba and Yaroomba are neighbouring areas on the Sunshine Coast with very different layouts. Mudjimba is very walkable, with 97.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 95.1% near public transport. In contrast, Yaroomba is mostly car-dependent, with only 3.9% of homes near groceries. Yaroomba is also wealthier and more highly qualified; its typical weekly household income is $2,262, which is well higher than Mudjimba's $1,763, and a far higher share of its adults hold a bachelor degree (34.1% compared to 22.4%).

These two areas share a similar home size, with about 2.6 to 2.8 people per household. They also have nearly the same proportion of people in de facto relationships and a similar share of volunteers. However, the gap in housing types is stark, as separate houses are far more common in Yaroomba (92.9%) than in Mudjimba (59.6%). This difference in living patterns is consistent with Mudjimba's higher number of townhouses and apartments.
