Moreton Ryan

Moreton and Ryan are nearby areas in Brisbane with similar population sizes, though they differ in layout and diversity. Moreton is more connected and accessible, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (86.8% compared to 75.4% in Ryan) and a shorter drive time to the city. It is also much more diverse; 36.1% of people use a language other than English at home, compared to 17.7% in Ryan. In contrast, Ryan has a higher share of university qualifications (46.5% versus 38.9%) and higher typical family incomes, with the usual family earning $2,867 per week compared to $2,226 in Moreton.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, such as a typical resident age of 36 and almost identical household sizes. However, some gaps are widening. Since 2011, the difference in typical family income has grown, and the share of people working from home has become well higher in Ryan. Meanwhile, the gap in Year 12 completion has narrowed, as both areas remain far above the national figure for school leavers.
