Lismore Logan

Logan and Lismore are two very different regional hubs. Logan is a fast-growing area with a young population—the typical resident is 34—where 27.9% of people were born overseas. Lismore is much older, with a typical resident aged 44, and only 10.4% of the population were born overseas. Logan has seen a population jump of 15.1% since 2021, while Lismore's population fell by 1.6% over the same time.

These gaps in age are widening, as the difference between the typical resident's age has grown from 7 to 10 years since 2011. Despite these divergent trends, the two areas share very similar typical weekly personal incomes, with Logan at $736 and Lismore at $685. They also have nearly identical rates of people in de facto relationships and similar proportions of homes with no motor vehicle.
