Sippy Downs Warana

Sippy Downs and Warana are neighbouring Sunshine Coast areas with very different profiles. Sippy Downs is much younger, with a typical resident aged 33 compared to 42 in Warana. It is also more transient and diverse, with 52.6% of people moving in within the last five years and 24.7% born overseas, which is well higher than in Warana. While Warana is more walkable for health services and groceries, Sippy Downs is far better for those needing a school within a 15-minute walk, with 74.6% of homes nearby compared to just 6.3% in Warana.

Both areas have a similar share of children under 15 and typical weekly household incomes that sit near the national figure. They also share similar rates of volunteering and people providing unpaid care. However, the gaps in home ownership are stark; 34.5% of homes in Warana are owned outright, which is far higher than the 18.9% in Sippy Downs. This difference is consistent with the age gap, as Warana has more seniors and a higher share of people earning over $2,000 a week.
