Broadwater Oodgeroo

Broadwater and Oodgeroo are both residential areas in Queensland with populations between 44,000 and 50,000. Oodgeroo is much more walkable, with 75.8% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed compared to 32.7% in Broadwater, and a far higher number of schools per 1,000 children (1.54 versus 0.45). Separate houses are also far more common in Oodgeroo, where they make up 75.9% of homes, while Broadwater has a lower share at 58.5%.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, with nearly identical rates of people working from home, those needing help with daily activities, and the typical monthly home-loan payment. However, the two areas have drifted apart in some ways since 2011. Broadwater has become noticeably older and more diverse, with a higher share of overseas-born residents and people aged 65 and over, while Oodgeroo has seen its lead in separate houses and high-income households grow.
