Ninderry Noosa

Ninderry and Noosa are nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Noosa is much older, with a typical resident aged 50 compared to 42 in Ninderry. It is also far more walkable, with 58% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 43.3% near health services, while Ninderry's figures are 35.9% and 26.8% respectively. In contrast, Ninderry is more focused on families; it has a well higher share of children under 15 (19.8% versus 14.7%) and far more school enrolments, with 11,359 students compared to 6,211 in Noosa.

These family-focused traits in Ninderry are becoming more pronounced, as the gap in the share of children and people caring for children unpaid has widened since 2011. Despite this divergence, the two areas remain similar in other ways, such as their typical weekly personal incomes and the share of people who have completed Year 12. Noosa's transport infrastructure is more developed, with far more public transport stops and departures than Ninderry.
