Adare Lawes

Adare and Lawes are neighbouring areas in the Lockyer Valley, but they differ sharply in their makeup. Adare is an older community with a typical resident aged 37, where 13.3% of people are 65 or over. Lawes is far younger, with a typical age of just 21 and no one aged 65 or over. Lawes is also much more diverse and highly qualified; 53.3% of its residents were born overseas and 30.9% hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 9.2% and 10.1% in Adare.

Both areas are equally dependent on cars, as almost no homes in either place are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. This shared reliance on vehicles exists alongside different housing patterns. Adare has more homeowners, with 30.5% owning their place outright, while 90.9% of Lawes residents rent. The two areas have also tracked differently since 2011, with Lawes seeing a much larger shift in its population, as nearly 80% of its residents moved there in the last five years.
