Blair Fisher

Blair and Fisher are two Queensland areas with different demographic profiles. Blair is a younger area, where the typical resident is 35 and children under 15 make up 22.1% of the population. It is also more rural in feel, with 90.2% of homes being separate houses. In contrast, Fisher is much older, with a typical age of 43 and a higher share of seniors (22.0%). Homes in Fisher are more likely to be owned outright (34.6% compared to 24.0% in Blair) and are generally more walkable, with more residents within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, as typical weekly household incomes are almost identical at around $1,580. They also have the same percentage of recent overseas arrivals (11.1%) and very similar rates of people living alone. While they share these basics, some gaps have grown over time. The age difference has widened since 2011, and the gap in home ownership and the number of university degrees has also increased.
