Beaudesert Browns Plains

Beaudesert and Browns Plains are two different types of Queensland communities. Beaudesert is an older, more rural area where the typical resident is 45 and 22.8% of people are aged 65 or over. In contrast, Browns Plains is much younger, with a typical age of 32. Browns Plains is also far more diverse; 30.9% of residents were born overseas and 23.5% use a language other than English at home, while those figures are only 12.3% and 3.0% in Beaudesert. These differences extend to the economy, with Browns Plains seeing a typical weekly household income of $1,597 compared to $1,199 in Beaudesert.

Daily life in both places shares several similarities, including nearly identical shares of one-parent families and people with no religion. They also have similar typical monthly home-loan payments and access to health services within a 15-minute walk. However, the gaps between them are widening in many areas. The age difference has grown since 2011, and the divide in language diversity and overseas births has also increased. Browns Plains continues to offer better access to public transport and a higher share of residents working or looking for work.
