Birkalla Feluga

Feluga and Birkalla are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different age profiles. Feluga is much younger, with the typical resident aged 35 and children under 15 making up 32.7% of the population. This helps explain why 40.1% of adults there provide unpaid childcare, far higher than the 26.7% in Birkalla. In contrast, Birkalla is older, with a typical resident aged 45 and a higher share of people aged 65 and over (21.2%). Other notable gaps include rental patterns, with 35.1% of Birkalla homes rented compared to just 14.1% in Feluga.

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining alike in many core ways. Both have similar home sizes, with about 87% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms, and both are entirely car-dependent with no homes within walking distance of public transport or groceries. They also share similar typical monthly mortgage payments, around $1,400 to $1,500, and both have a low share of residents who have served in the Defence Force.
