Cooran vs Kandanga

Urban Centre comparison ≈ 15 km apart · Cooran profile · Kandanga profile

Cooran Kandanga

Cooran and Kandanga are two nearby Queensland areas with very different layouts. Cooran is more car-dependent, but has a more qualified workforce, with 53.7% of residents completing Year 12 and 18.6% holding a bachelor degree or higher. It also has more high-earning households, with 10.2% earning $3,000 or more a week, and a larger share of people who do not identify with a religion (53.9%).

Both areas share very similar age profiles and health levels, with around 20% of residents being children and 18% being seniors. While they are alike in these respects, their local surroundings differ; Kandanga is somewhat walkable with most homes within a short walk of a school, park or groceries, whereas Cooran is more reliant on cars. Since 2011, the gap in school completion and the number of people without a religion have both widened.
