Norwell Pimpama

Pimpama and Norwell are neighbours with very different characters. Pimpama is a large, young area where 27.5% of people are children under 15, and the typical resident is only 29. Residents are far more likely to be born overseas (29.5%) or use another language at home (15.7%). In contrast, Norwell is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical age of 43. Housing also differs sharply; Pimpama has a high rental rate of 56.9%, while 33.9% of homes in Norwell are owned outright.

These two areas are drifting further apart as Pimpama grows and changes. While they share a similar typical weekly family income of around $1,900, Pimpama has become far more connected with a high number of public transport stops and parks within walking distance. Norwell remains more rural and car-dependent, with 100% of homes being separate houses. This gap in mobility and infrastructure has widened as Pimpama sees a huge influx of new residents, with 73.8% moving there in the last five years.
