Coochiemudlo Island Dunwich

Coochiemudlo Island and Dunwich are two nearby island areas with very different profiles. Coochiemudlo Island is far older, with a typical resident aged 62 and 40.7% of people aged 65 and over. It also has a larger overseas-born population at 24.5% and more homes owned outright (52.7%). In contrast, Dunwich has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 33.0% and more children, with 19.1% under 15. Dunwich is also far more walkable, with about 77% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, and schools, while Coochiemudlo Island has no homes with such access.

Since 2011, these two places have moved in opposite directions across several key measures. The gap in typical age has widened as Coochiemudlo Island has become far older, and the difference in overseas-born residents has grown significantly. Both areas share a similar use of other languages at home (2.8%) and nearly identical typical weekly rents of around $294. While Dunwich has more adults working or looking for work (50.3%), both areas sit well below the national figure for this measure.
