Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 3.9 km apart · Kingston profile · Woodridge profile

Kingston Woodridge

Woodridge and Kingston (Qld) are neighbouring areas in Logan with distinct housing and amenity profiles. Kingston (Qld) is dominated by larger homes, with separate houses being far more common (83.2% compared to 60.1% in Woodridge) and far more homes having three or more bedrooms. It also has a much larger school presence, including five schools and a far higher number of enrolments. In contrast, Woodridge is very walkable and provides much better access to health services, with 77.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk compared to just 14.7% in Kingston (Qld).

These two areas share very similar typical weekly incomes of around $510 to $521. They are also alike in their proportion of children under 15 and the percentage of people who have completed Year 12. While Woodridge remains well higher for the share of people born overseas and those using another language at home, these gaps have narrowed since 2011. The same trend is seen in housing, where the gap in the share of separate houses and three-plus bedroom homes has also shrunk over time.
