Moreton Bay Redland

Moreton Bay and Redland are both large Queensland areas, but they differ in scale and demographics. Moreton Bay is much larger and younger, with a typical resident aged 39 and a population that has grown by 9.9% since 2021. In contrast, Redland is noticeably older, with a typical age of 43 and a higher share of people aged 65 and over (20.9% compared to 17.7% in Moreton Bay). Redland also has a higher proportion of homeowners who own their homes outright (33.7%) and more households earning $3,000 or more a week (22.4%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people aged 65 and over, though Redland is well above it. They share a similar feel in daily life, with almost identical rates of volunteering and nearly the same typical weekly household incomes. However, some gaps are widening; the difference in home ownership and the age gap between the two populations have both increased since 2011.
