Ormeau Pimpama

Pimpama and Ormeau are neighbouring areas in the Gold Coast, but they have different housing and demographic profiles. Pimpama is a fast-growing hub where 73.8% of residents moved in during the last five years, and renting is far more common at 56.9%. In contrast, Ormeau has more stable residency and a higher share of homeowners, with 20.4% owning their homes outright compared to just 9.8% in Pimpama. Pimpama is also younger and more diverse, with 29.5% of people born overseas and 15.7% using a language other than English at home.

Both areas are quite similar in terms of typical weekly personal incomes, which sit around $860, and the number of people living in each home. However, the gap in mobility is widening, as Pimpama's share of new arrivals is now far higher than Ormeau's. This trend is consistent with Pimpama having far more public transport routes and a typical resident age of just 29, while residents in Ormeau are noticeably older at 33.
