Pumicestone Redcliffe

Redcliffe and Pumicestone are two nearby Queensland areas with similar population sizes, but they offer very different lifestyles. Redcliffe is a very walkable area where 93.5% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed and most residents live within a short walk of schools, groceries and health services. In contrast, Pumicestone is more car-dependent, with far more separate houses (80.7% compared to 67.6% in Redcliffe) and much lower access to nearby amenities. Redcliffe also has a higher proportion of renters at 35.5%, while home ownership is far more common in Pumicestone, where 43.5% of homes are owned outright.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions regarding income and education. Redcliffe has seen its lead grow in typical weekly family income, which is now $1,812 compared to $1,405 in Pumicestone. Both areas share a similar social makeup, with almost identical shares of people who are non-religious, those in de facto relationships, and children under 15. They also both have populations that are far older than the national figure, though residents in Pumicestone are noticeably older on average.
