Gracemere Mount Morgan

Gracemere and Mount Morgan are two nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Gracemere is a much younger community where 26.0% of people are children under 15, and the typical resident is 33. This helps explain why it has a far higher share of people caring for children unpaid (34.6%) and more large homes, with 92.6% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Mount Morgan is far older, with a typical age of 53 and a high proportion of seniors (28.7%).

Both areas are very similar in their housing style, with nearly everyone living in separate detached houses. They also share similar rates of volunteering and people working from home. While they have much in common in these areas, the gaps in their populations are widening; since 2011, the age difference between the two has grown to 20 years, and the gap in home ownership has increased, with far more people owning their homes outright in Mount Morgan.
