Cooper Mount Ommaney

Cooper and Mount Ommaney are two nearby residential areas with similar population sizes, but they offer different lifestyles. Cooper is more walkable and better connected, with far more people within a 15-minute walk of health services (81.7% vs 50.4%) and higher typical weekly family incomes of $3,264. Mount Ommaney has a stronger tilt toward larger family homes, with 89.1% of homes having three or more bedrooms and a higher share of separate houses. It is also more culturally diverse, as 23.3% of people use a language other than English at home, compared to 10.8% in Cooper.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the number of people per home and the share of children under 15.

Cooper has seen a recent increase in high earners and university graduates, flipping the lead in these categories over the last decade.
