Brightview Coominya

Brightview (L) and Coominya (L) are two nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Brightview (L) is younger, with a typical resident aged 38 and 21.4% of the population being children under 15. In contrast, residents in Coominya (L) are far older, with a typical age of 50. This age gap is reflected in their homes; 43.1% of Coominya (L) homes are owned outright, compared to just 29.2% in Brightview (L). While Coominya (L) is mostly car-dependent, it has some walkable amenities, whereas Brightview (L) is completely car-dependent with no amenities within a 15-minute walk.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people aged 65 and over. They are also very similar in the proportion of people born overseas and the number of volunteers. However, several gaps have widened since 2011, including a growing difference in typical age and the share of adults working or looking for work, which is far higher in Brightview (L) at 55.5% compared to 43.4% in Coominya (L).
