Marsden vs Kingston

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 2.0 km apart · Marsden profile · Kingston profile

Marsden Kingston

Marsden and Kingston (Qld) are neighbouring areas in Logan with distinct profiles. Marsden is a younger area where children under 15 make up 27.9% of the population and the typical resident is just 28. This is consistent with more people caring for children unpaid (30.2%) and a higher share of four-bedroom homes. In contrast, Kingston (Qld) is more walkable and better connected, with 79.6% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed and far more public transport stops and departures per 1,000 people. Kingston (Qld) also has a higher proportion of older residents, with 12.1% aged 65 and over.

Daily life in both places shares many similarities, including nearly identical rates of volunteering and an equal number of people per bedroom in the typical home. They also have similar shares of people who speak little or no English and those with no religion. While they share these commonalities, some gaps have grown since 2011; the difference in typical age has widened to four years, and Marsden has seen its lead in the share of people born overseas increase to 3.8%.
