Coomera Redlands

Coomera and Redlands are nearby Queensland areas with very different populations. Coomera is a young, growing hub where the typical resident is 31, and 25.6% of people are children under 15. It has a high proportion of renters (41.5%) and large homes, with 92.8% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Redlands is much older, with a typical age of 45 and 22.7% of residents aged 65 and over. Home ownership is more common there, with 34.4% of homes owned outright, compared to just 15.3% in Coomera.

Since 2011, these two areas have moved in opposite directions across several key measures. While the gap in typical age and the share of seniors has widened significantly, they remain similar in other ways. Both areas have almost identical shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (around 3.1%) and very similar walkability scores, with both being car-dependent. They also share a similar typical family income, which sits just under $2,100 a week.
