College View Forest Hill

Forest Hill (Qld) and College View are neighbouring areas in the Lockyer Valley, though they differ in size and feel. Forest Hill (Qld) is far older, with a typical resident aged 41 compared to 30 in College View. This difference in age is consistent with other trends; Forest Hill (Qld) is more likely to have people aged 65 and over (17.9% versus 8.3%) and a higher share of homes owned outright (37.1% versus 25.0%). In contrast, College View has a much younger population and is far more likely to be rented (54.2% versus 28.2%).

While the gap in renters has widened, the two areas remain alike in other ways. They share very similar typical weekly rents of around $300 and almost identical unemployment rates. Both areas are also largely car-dependent, with neither having any homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. Daily life is similar in terms of health, as about 34% of residents in both places live with a long-term health condition.
