Coomera Springwood

Coomera and Springwood are two growing Queensland areas with very different housing and age profiles. Coomera is much younger, with a typical resident aged 31 and a higher share of children under 15 (25.6%). It is also a transient hub where 59.6% of people moved in the last five years, and renters make up a far higher share of households at 41.5%. In contrast, Springwood is more established and walkable; it has a typical resident aged 38 and a far higher share of homes owned outright (27.9%). Residents in Springwood have much easier access to essentials on foot, with 66.5% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed compared to just 37.5% in Coomera.

Both areas share a similar mix of people born overseas (around 27%) and very similar typical weekly household incomes of about $2,000. While they are alike in these areas, their housing trends have diverged. Since 2011, the gap in home ownership has flipped, with Springwood now seeing far more residents owning their homes outright while the proportion of renters in Coomera has risen significantly.
