Bloomsbury Laguna Quays

Bloomsbury and Laguna Quays are two nearby areas in Queensland with very different housing and income profiles. Bloomsbury is largely made up of separate houses, with 98.4% of homes being detached, and typical weekly family incomes are far higher at $1,578. In contrast, Laguna Quays is dominated by townhouses and semi-detached homes, and has a much higher proportion of people living alone at 67.4%. This area also has a significantly older population, with 37.1% of residents aged 65 and over, compared to 22.3% in Bloomsbury.

Both areas are car-dependent, with neither having a walkable neighborhood and no residents living within a 10-minute walk of public transport. This shared reliance on cars is a steady feature, even as the gap in residents who have moved recently is widening, with 64.7% of Laguna Quays residents arriving in the last five years compared to 27.9% in Bloomsbury. They also share similar levels of education, with both areas having the same share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher at 3.9%.
