Waterford Waterford West

Waterford West and Waterford (Qld) are neighbouring areas in Logan with distinct profiles. Waterford West is much more connected, with far more public transport stops and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (82.5% compared to 45.5% in Waterford (Qld)). In contrast, Waterford (Qld) has a more affluent population; its typical household income is $1,623 per week, which is well higher than the $1,184 seen in Waterford West. This gap extends to education, with Year 12 completion far higher in Waterford (Qld) at 54.9% against 44.3% in Waterford West.

These two areas have drifted further apart as the gap in typical household income has widened since 2011. Despite this, they share many everyday realities, such as having an identical rental rate of 40.4% and almost exactly the same proportion of separate houses. Both areas also have very similar school advantage scores and a similar amount of unpaid housework being done in the home.
