Kuranda Goldsborough

Kuranda and Goldsborough (L) are two nearby Queensland areas with very different characters. Kuranda is an older community where the typical resident is 47 and 21% of people are aged 65 or over. It is also more walkable, with 47.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park. In contrast, Goldsborough (L) is much younger, with a typical age of 38. It has a higher-earning population, where the usual weekly household income is $2,274 compared to $1,317 in Kuranda.

Both areas have similar rates of people in de facto relationships, which sit close to the national figure. However, the gaps between them are often widening. The difference in typical income has grown significantly since 2011, and the gap in home ownership has flipped, with homes now far more likely to be owned outright in Kuranda. This is consistent with a higher number of people living alone in Kuranda, while Goldsborough (L) has far more large families in homes with four or more bedrooms.
