Cungulla Picnic Bay

Picnic Bay and Cungulla are two small, sparsely populated areas in Queensland. Picnic Bay is more transient and diverse, with 43.5% of people moving in the last five years and 20.1% born overseas. It also has a higher share of university qualifications (18.0% with a bachelor degree or higher) and more people living alone (48.0%). In contrast, Cungulla is more stable, with 100% of homes being separate houses and a much higher share of homes owned outright (55.0%). Cungulla also sees more full-time work, at 62.2% compared to 51.7% in Picnic Bay.

Both areas are very similar in age, with a typical resident in each being 58. This shared older profile is reflected in the similar proportion of people aged 65 and over. While they share this age bracket, they have tracked differently since 2011; the gap in overseas births and university degrees has widened, and the difference in renting has grown significantly. While Picnic Bay is mostly car-dependent, it is slightly more walkable than Cungulla, which is described as car-dependent.
