Logan Moreton Bay

Moreton Bay and Logan are two large areas in Greater Brisbane with distinct profiles. Moreton Bay has a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (17.1% versus 13.7%) and more people earning over $2,000 a week (9.4% versus 6.3%). It is also a noticeably older area, with a typical resident aged 39 compared to 34 in Logan. In contrast, Logan has a much higher proportion of people born overseas (27.9% versus 20.9%) and a higher share of residents who use a language other than English at home (18.1% versus 8.5%). Crime rates are also far higher in Logan, particularly for theft, where the rate is 4,057 compared to 2,429 in Moreton Bay.

Both areas are very similar in their share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents, sitting at around 4%. They also share similar typical weekly household incomes, around $1,600. However, some gaps are widening; for example, the difference in the typical age of residents has grown to five years. Similarly, the gap in the share of people using another language at home has increased since 2011, and more people in Moreton Bay now work from home compared to Logan.
