Nambour Kureelpa

Nambour and Kureelpa (L) are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Nambour is a larger, more mobile hub where 47.5% of people moved in the last five years, and it is much more accessible, with a somewhat walkable score of 5.4. In contrast, Kureelpa (L) is a smaller, car-dependent area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 50 compared to 40 in Nambour. Kureelpa (L) also has a wealthier profile, with 21.6% of households earning $3,000 or more a week and a higher share of homes owned outright at 45.0%.

Since 2011, the two areas have grown further apart across most measures. The gap in typical age has widened to 10 years, and the difference in home ownership and rental rates has increased significantly. Despite these diverging trends, they share some basic commonalities, such as very similar unemployment rates and almost identical proportions of people who speak little or no English.
