Bonney Mudgeeraba

Mudgeeraba and Bonney are two nearby areas on the Gold Coast with very different characters. Mudgeeraba is a wealthier, family-oriented place where 86.4% of homes have three or more bedrooms and 23.4% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, Bonney is much more urban and rental-heavy, with 44.7% of households renting and 30.8% of people living alone. Bonney is also far more accessible, rated as very walkable compared to Mudgeeraba, which is mostly car-dependent.

Both areas have a similar share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher, which sits close to the national figure. However, the gap between them is widening in several ways.
