Caloundra Ninderry

Ninderry and Caloundra are two nearby Queensland areas with similar population sizes, though they offer different living patterns. Ninderry is more residential and spacious, with a far higher share of separate houses (83.8% compared to 69.8% in Caloundra) and more large homes with three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Caloundra is much more walkable and connected; it has far higher rates of homes within a 15-minute walk of schools (64.2% vs 33.8%) and groceries (61.0% vs 35.9%), alongside far more public transport routes.

These two areas share many core characteristics, including nearly identical shares of people born overseas and very similar typical weekly personal incomes. While they are similar in these ways, some of the gaps between them are shifting. The difference in the number of separate houses has narrowed since 2011, and the gap in rental rates has also shrunk, though Caloundra remains well higher in this area.
