Crows Nest Goombungee

Crows Nest and Goombungee (L) are nearby Queensland areas with very different age profiles. Crows Nest is much older, with a typical resident aged 58 and 40.4% of the population aged 65 and over. In contrast, Goombungee (L) is younger, with a typical age of 42 and a far higher share of children under 15 (22.3% compared to 11.8% in Crows Nest). This shift is reflected in the workforce and home life, as Goombungee (L) has a far higher share of adults working or looking for work (53.3%) and more people caring for children unpaid (26.8%).

The gap in the number of seniors has widened since 2011, as Crows Nest has become significantly older than Goombungee (L). Despite this, the two areas are almost identical in some ways, with both having about 8% of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. They also share very similar typical weekly rents and a total lack of public transport commuting. While Crows Nest has more access to groceries and transport, Goombungee (L) is more walkable for those visiting schools and parks.
