Shannonvale Southedge

Southedge and Shannonvale are nearby Queensland areas that both have small populations. Southedge is sparsely populated and has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 57 and 28.6% of people aged 65 or over. This is consistent with a higher need for help with daily activities (14.3%) and lower typical weekly incomes, such as $1,437 for families. Shannonvale is younger, with a typical age of 48, and has a much higher share of people with no religion (47.9%) and a higher typical family income of $2,071.

Both areas are car-dependent and have a similar number of people per home, which sits near the national figure. They also share a lack of nearby public transport and amenities within walking distance. While Shannonvale has more schools nearby and a higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (3.1%), both areas have seen their typical home-loan payments and incomes stay well apart over time.
