Tweed Logan

Logan and Tweed are distinct regions with very different demographic profiles. Logan is much younger, with a typical resident aged 34, while the typical resident in Tweed is 47. Logan is also more multicultural and diverse, with 27.9% of people born overseas and 18.1% using a language other than English at home—figures far higher than in Tweed. Housing differs sharply as well; 41.5% of Tweed homes are owned outright, compared with just 22.6% in Logan, where renting is far more common at 34.6%.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally shifted further apart. The age difference has widened to 13 years, and the gap in overseas births and home language use has also grown. Despite these diverging trends, they share several similarities, including very similar shares of First Nations people (about 4%) and nearly identical rates of mental health conditions (around 10%). Both areas also sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
