Beaudesert also has a far higher share of larger homes, with 79.7% having three or more bedrooms compared to 69.2% in Tweed Valley. Tweed Valley has much better access to transport and services, with 79.9% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport, while only 16.0% of Beaudesert homes have that access.

Since 2011, some of the gaps between the two have shifted. The difference in the share of older residents has narrowed, though Tweed Valley remains higher at 26.6% compared to 22.8% in Beaudesert.
