Ipswich Redland

Ipswich and Redland are two large areas in Queensland with very different demographics. Ipswich is a young place, where the typical resident is 33 and 23.4% of the population are children under 15. Redland is far older, with a typical age of 43 and a much higher share of seniors at 20.9%. These trends are reflected in housing: renting is far more common in Ipswich at 39.4%, while 33.7% of Redland homes are owned outright. Redland also records far higher levels of overall advantage and education skills.

The gap in resident ages has widened since 2011, as Redland has become older and Ipswich younger. Despite this, the two areas share several similarities, such as typical weekly personal incomes which sit around $790. They also have nearly identical shares of people who live alone, those who provide unpaid care, and those who do not have a religion. Both areas see a similar amount of people needing help with daily activities, at around 6.7%.
