Sandgate Redcliffe

Redcliffe and Sandgate are two nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Redcliffe is far older, with a typical resident aged 48 compared to 39 in Sandgate, and it has a much larger share of seniors (25.6% versus 17.1%). Sandgate has a more diverse population, with 17.8% of people using another language at home compared to just 6.8% in Redcliffe. This difference in diversity is consistent with other figures, as Sandgate has a higher share of people born overseas and a higher proportion of residents who finished Year 12.

Since 2011, the gaps between the two areas have generally widened. The difference in typical age has more than doubled, and the gap in typical weekly household income has grown to $416, with Sandgate's typical income being well higher at $1,736. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas share several similarities, such as similar proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents and almost identical typical monthly home-loan payments.
