Springwood Woodridge

Woodridge and Springwood are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different profiles. Woodridge is far more linguistically diverse, with 33.4% of people using another language at home compared to 16.9% in Springwood. There is also a significant gap in qualifications and income; 22.8% of Springwood adults have a bachelor degree or higher, while only 8.7% do in Woodridge. This is consistent with typical household incomes, which are far higher in Springwood at $1,724 a week compared to $1,043 in Woodridge.

They also have a similar share of people moving in over the last five years. However, some gaps are widening; the difference in Year 12 completion has grown to 21 percentage points. Other gaps are closing, such as the share of homes owned outright, where Springwood remains higher but the lead has narrowed since 2011.
