Mount Louisa Mount St John

Mount Louisa and Mount St John are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Mount Louisa is a large residential hub with a young population, where 22.8% of people are under 15 and the typical resident is 34. It is an area of larger family homes, with 94.8% having three or more bedrooms and typical weekly incomes reaching $2,072. In contrast, Mount St John is sparsely populated and much smaller. It is characterized by a far older population with a typical age of 42, and many more people living alone (70.0%). It also has a very high proportion of former Defence Force members, at 57.3%.

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, as both have about a third of households renting and very few people who speak little or no English.

Meanwhile, Mount St John has a much higher rate of full-time employment at 97.0%, which is far above the national figure.
