Buderim Nicklin

Buderim and Nicklin are two nearby Sunshine Coast areas with different living patterns. Buderim is more urban, with far more street intersections and 83.1% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. It has a better-qualified workforce, with more adults holding bachelor degrees (24.9% compared to 17.4% in Nicklin), which helps explain why weekly rents are well higher at $470. Nicklin is more rural, where separate houses are far more common at 84.1% and residents are noticeably older, with a typical age of 44 compared to 39 in Buderim.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked closer together as many of the gaps between them have narrowed. This is seen in education and income, as the difference in Year 12 completion and high weekly earnings has shrunk. They share several similarities, including nearly identical shares of children under 15 and similar unemployment rates. Both areas also have a very low share of people who speak little or no English, with figures around 0.4% to 0.6%, which is far below the national figure.
