Cooper Pine Rivers

Pine Rivers and Cooper are two different types of residential areas located about 20km apart. Cooper is far more walkable (very walkable) than Pine Rivers (somewhat walkable) and has a much more highly qualified population; 49.7% of adults in Cooper hold a bachelor degree or higher compared to 23.3% in Pine Rivers. This is reflected in incomes, with the typical weekly family income in Cooper being $3,264, which is well higher than the $2,287 in Pine Rivers. In contrast, Pine Rivers has far more separate houses (86.9%) and a higher share of homes with three or more bedrooms (89.6% compared to 74.1% in Cooper).

Both areas share several core characteristics, including very similar rates of full-time employment and nearly identical shares of people who speak little or no English. While they are similar in these respects, other gaps have grown since 2011. The difference in university qualifications and high weekly incomes has widened significantly, while Pine Rivers has become more likely than Cooper to have larger, detached homes.
