Jacobs Well Coochiemudlo Island

Jacobs Well and Coochiemudlo Island (L) are two nearby Queensland areas with very different populations. Jacobs Well is a younger area where 18.6% of people are children, and typical weekly household incomes are far higher at $2,137. In contrast, Coochiemudlo Island (L) is much older; the typical resident is 62, and 40.7% of people are aged 65 or over. This older population is consistent with a higher share of people living alone (38.5%) and a much higher rate of long-term health conditions (46.1%).

Income gaps between the two have widened since 2011, with typical weekly household income now $1,245 higher in Jacobs Well.
