Petrie Ryan

Petrie and Ryan are two nearby Queensland areas with very different economic profiles. Ryan has a much more highly qualified workforce, with 46.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 20.2% in Petrie. This helps explain the gap in earnings, as the typical household in Ryan earns $2,301 a week, which is well higher than the $1,640 typical in Petrie. Ryan also has a much higher share of people working from home (27.8% versus 14.5%) and more people with high weekly incomes of $3,000 or more.

Daily life in both places shares many similarities, such as an almost identical number of people moving in over the last five years and a similar 24 to 25 minute drive to the city. While they share these commonalities, some gaps are widening; for example, the difference in typical household incomes has grown since 2011. Petrie remains more likely to have larger homes, with 81.7% of houses having three or more bedrooms, compared to 75.1% in Ryan.
