Landsborough Palmwoods

Landsborough and Palmwoods are two nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Landsborough is much younger, with a typical resident aged 36 compared to 45 in Palmwoods. It has seen far more recent growth, with 55.9% of people moving in over the last five years and a population increase of 35.9% since 2021. Palmwoods has a much older feel, where 20.4% of people are seniors and a far higher 37% of homes are owned outright. While Landsborough has more homes within walking distance of parks, Palmwoods makes it much easier to reach groceries and health services on foot.

These two areas share very similar typical weekly family incomes, both sitting around $2,000. They also have almost identical rates of people born overseas and similar levels of school advantage. However, the gaps between them are widening in several areas. The age difference has grown from 3 years to 9 years since 2011, and the gap in home ownership and recent arrivals has also increased over the last decade.
