Coffs Harbour Bonville

Coffs Harbour and Bonville (L) are neighbouring areas with very different layouts and lifestyles. Coffs Harbour is a larger centre with a somewhat walkable environment, where 18.6% of residents are recent overseas arrivals and 33.4% of households rent. In contrast, Bonville (L) is a car-dependent area where 100% of homes are separate houses and 62.1% are owned outright. Bonville (L) also has a wealthier and more qualified population, with a typical weekly household income of $2,134 compared to $1,309 in Coffs Harbour, and a higher share of residents with a bachelor degree (27.4% versus 17.9%).

Both areas are similar in the share of their population that is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, with each sitting around 6%. While they share some common ground, gaps in housing and wealth have widened since 2011. The difference in home ownership and income has grown, and the divide in walkability remains stark, with Coffs Harbour providing easy access to parks and shops while Bonville (L) has no such amenities within a 15-minute walk.
