Grantham Ringwood

Grantham and Ringwood (Qld) are neighbouring areas in the Lockyer Valley with very different profiles.

Economic profiles also diverge sharply; Ringwood (Qld) has a much higher share of people earning $2,000 or more a week (16.7% compared to 4.3% in Grantham) and more people working full-time. Grantham is more walkable and better connected, with far more people using public transport for commuting and a much higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of parks, schools, and groceries.

Both areas share a similar proportion of people aged 65 and over, at 15.8%. They also have almost identical typical household sizes, with about 2.6 or 2.7 people per home.
