Redland Scenic Rim

Redland and Scenic Rim are two distinct Queensland areas with very different layouts. Redland is more urban, with a walkability score of 5.1 (somewhat walkable) and 71.9% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Scenic Rim is car-dependent with a score of 1.9, and only 5.8% of homes have easy transport access. Redland is also wealthier and more educated, with 22.4% of households earning $3,000 or more a week and 56.0% of residents completing Year 12, compared to 14.9% and 47.7% in Scenic Rim.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways. The gaps in weekly household income, Year 12 completion, and the use of other languages at home have all widened. However, they share many common traits, including a similar share of children under 15 (around 17%) and the same typical household size of 2.6 people. Both areas also have populations older than the national figure, though residents in Scenic Rim are noticeably older, with a typical age of 46.
