Wangan Coconuts

Wangan (L) and Coconuts (L) are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different social profiles. Wangan (L) is a family-oriented area where children under 15 make up 20.8% of the population and 81.6% of homes have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Coconuts (L) is much older, with a typical resident aged 56 and 33.7% of people aged 65 and over. Coconuts (L) also has a more qualified workforce, with 47.8% of residents completing Year 12 compared to 32.2% in Wangan (L).

These two areas share very similar typical weekly personal incomes of around $672 to $675 and almost identical weekly rents of $255. However, their demographics are drifting further apart. The gap in the number of children and seniors has widened since 2011, and the difference in school completion has flipped to a significant lead for Coconuts (L). While Wangan (L) offers better access to groceries and schools, Coconuts (L) has a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park.
