Pimpama Willow Vale

Pimpama and Willow Vale (Qld) are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Pimpama is a high-growth hub where 56.9% of homes are rented and many people have moved in within the last five years. It is more urban, with a walkability score described as somewhat walkable and a high number of people living within 15 minutes of schools and shops. In contrast, Willow Vale (Qld) is more car-dependent and residential, with 91.1% of homes being separate houses and a much higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (27.4%).

Both areas share a similar typical weekly personal income of around $860 and have nearly identical shares of people with no religion. This common ground exists alongside a sharp contrast in accessibility; while Pimpama has frequent public transport and many nearby amenities, Willow Vale (Qld) has far fewer transport stops and most residents live further from the nearest stop. Pimpama is also slightly younger and more diverse, with more people born overseas and using another language at home.
