Yeppoon Bouldercombe

Yeppoon and Bouldercombe (L) are two different types of Queensland communities. Yeppoon is a much larger area with a more active property market, where 27.5% of households rent and 46.4% of people moved in during the last five years. It is also more walkable, with a score of 3.1 (mostly car-dependent), and has a higher share of university degrees (16.3%) and Year 12 graduates (49.0%). In contrast, Bouldercombe (L) is a smaller, more stable area where 43.2% of homes are owned outright and 99.2% are separate houses. It is more car-dependent, with a walkability score of 0.6.

Both areas share a similar age profile, with about 20% of residents aged 65 and over, and an equal share of children under 15. They also have nearly identical typical weekly rents, around $320 to $340. However, the gap in home ownership is widening, as Bouldercombe (L) has far more homes owned outright while Yeppoon has a far higher share of renters. This shift is consistent with the fact that Yeppoon has far more people moving into the area recently.
