Arcadia Bay Cungulla

Cungulla and Arcadia Bay are both small residential areas in Queensland, but they differ sharply in their makeup. Arcadia Bay has a much more qualified population, with 30.4% of adults holding a bachelor's degree compared to 7.5% in Cungulla. It also sees far more renters (32.5% versus 7.9%) and a higher share of people born overseas (21.4% versus 4.9%). Cungulla is more traditional in its housing, with 100% of homes being separate houses, while Arcadia Bay is more varied and far more walkable, with a score of 4.5 (somewhat walkable) compared to Cungulla's 0.3 (car-dependent).

Everyday life shares many similarities across both areas, as they have nearly identical typical weekly personal incomes and typical rents. They also both have very low unemployment rates and no homes within a short walk of a school or public transport. While they share these basics, the two areas have drifted apart in some ways; the gap in typical age has widened since 2011, with residents now noticeably older in Arcadia Bay.
