Corindi Beach Safety Beach

Corindi Beach and Safety Beach (L) are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Corindi Beach is a more walkable hub where 93.4% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, and it has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals (29.1% compared to 8.9% in Safety Beach (L)). In contrast, Safety Beach (L) is more car-dependent and has a notably older population, with 26.7% aged 65 and over compared to 15.8% in Corindi Beach. Safety Beach (L) also has a higher proportion of university graduates (27.3%) and more homes owned outright (51.3%).

Everyday life shares some similarities in both places, such as the typical weekly personal income (around $742 to $787) and an almost identical rate of people needing help with daily activities. However, some gaps are widening. The difference in home ownership and the number of university graduates in Safety Beach (L) have both grown since 2011. Meanwhile, the gap in the number of people aged 65 and over has also increased, making Safety Beach (L) feel more like a retirement area than its neighbour.
