Flagstone Tamborine

Flagstone and Tamborine (L) are two nearby Queensland areas with very different characters. Flagstone is a young, growing hub where the typical resident is 31 and 45.2% of people moved there in the last five years. It is far more walkable, with 84.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, compared to just 5.3% in Tamborine (L). In contrast, Tamborine (L) is much older, with a typical age of 42 and a higher share of affluent households, as 34.6% earn $3,000 or more a week compared to 20.8% in Flagstone.

Despite these gaps, the two areas are very similar in their basic household makeup. Both have roughly the same number of people per home, around 3.2 to 3.3, and nearly identical typical weekly family incomes of just over $2,100. While they share these foundations, some differences are shifting; the age gap between them has narrowed since 2011, and the difference in outright home ownership has also shrunk.
