Mount Morgan Park Avenue

Park Avenue and Mount Morgan are two distinct Queensland areas with very different profiles. Park Avenue is a younger area, with a typical resident aged 36, while residents in Mount Morgan are far older at 53. Park Avenue is more likely to have people working or looking for work, and it is far more walkable, with 99.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries compared to 41.0% in Mount Morgan. There are also notable gaps in education and housing, with Year 12 completion far higher in Park Avenue (43.9% versus 26.2%) and renting far more common there as well.

Both areas share a similar background in several ways, with almost identical proportions of people born overseas, volunteers, and those who have served in the Defence Force. They also track closely in terms of population growth and overall advantage. However, some gaps are widening; the difference in typical age has grown from 9 years to 17 years since 2011, and the gap in home ownership and Year 12 completion has also increased over the same period.
