Forest Glen Mons

Forest Glen (Qld) and Mons are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Forest Glen (Qld) is much older, with 29.3% of people aged 65 and over compared to 15.1% in Mons. It is also more walkable, with 80.3% of homes within a 10 minute walk of public transport and many more residents living within 15 minutes of groceries and health services. In contrast, Mons is wealthier and more highly qualified; the typical weekly household income is $2,675, which is far higher than the $1,387 seen in Forest Glen (Qld).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining close in many ways. They share a similar proportion of First Nations people (1.8%), and nearly everyone in both places lives in a separate house. They also have almost identical rates of volunteering and full-time employment. While they are similar in these basics, the gaps in income and education between the two areas remain significant.
