Cooper Moggill

Cooper and Moggill are nearby Brisbane areas with very different layouts. Cooper is very walkable, with 88% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 98.2% near public transport. In contrast, Moggill is more car-dependent, with a much lower walkability score and only 47% of homes within walking distance of shops. This difference is reflected in the housing; Moggill has a far higher share of separate houses (94.8%) and large homes with three or more bedrooms (95.2%), while Cooper has more renters (32.7%) and a younger typical resident age of 36.

Everyday life in both places shares several common threads, including very similar typical weekly incomes and nearly the same number of people working from home. They also have almost identical proportions of volunteers and people serving in the Defence Force. While Moggill has a higher share of people born overseas (31.9% compared to 22.9% in Cooper), this gap has narrowed since 2011. Similarly, the gap in university qualifications has closed significantly over time, with both areas now sitting far above the national figure.
