Brisbane - South Moreton Bay - South

Brisbane - South and Moreton Bay - South are two nearby Queensland areas with very different characters. Brisbane - South is much more diverse and walkable, with 37.9% of people born overseas and 34.7% using a language other than English at home. It also has a more highly qualified workforce, where 38.2% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Moreton Bay - South is more car-dependent and residential; it has a far higher share of separate houses (82.6%) and larger homes, with 90.5% having three or more bedrooms.

These differences exist despite the two areas being almost identical in their typical weekly household income, which sits at about $2,020 for both. While they share similar incomes and a similar proportion of seniors, their paths are diverging in some ways. The gap in university qualifications and the use of other languages at home have both widened since 2011. Meanwhile, the gap in the share of children under 15 has narrowed over the same period.
