Bonney Currumbin

Bonney and Currumbin are nearby Queensland areas with very different housing and population profiles. Bonney is a more transient and diverse hub, where 35.1% of people were born overseas and 19.7% use a language other than English at home. It has a high proportion of renters (44.7%) and a small share of detached houses (38.2%). In contrast, Currumbin is more established, with a higher share of detached houses (58.5%) and homes owned outright (35.3%). Residents in Currumbin also tend to earn more, with 20.9% of households bringing in $3,000 or more a week, compared to 13.2% in Bonney.

The gap in home ownership has widened since 2011, but the two areas share several similarities.
