Melbourne - West Logan - Beaudesert

Melbourne - West and Logan - Beaudesert are two large residential hubs in different states with very different social profiles. Melbourne - West is far more diverse and qualified, with 42.0% of people born overseas and 27.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Logan - Beaudesert has a much higher share of people who identify as having no religion (40.7%) and a larger First Nations population at 4.3%.
