Ipswich Logan

Logan and Ipswich are both large, nearby Queensland areas with notable differences in their populations and infrastructure. Logan is more culturally diverse, with 27.9% of people born overseas and 18.1% using another language at home, compared to 21.7% and 14.1% in Ipswich. Logan also has a far larger number of businesses, with 29,449 compared to 13,888 in Ipswich. However, Ipswich has higher scores for education and job skills, more detached houses, and more schools per 1,000 children.

These two areas share many similarities, including very similar typical weekly household incomes of $1,616 in Logan and $1,668 in Ipswich. They also both have around 23% of their population under age 15. While both areas have seen an increase in people moving in over the last five years, the gap between them has remained little changed. Logan's share of overseas-born residents is still well higher than in Ipswich, though this gap has narrowed since 2011.
