Broadwater Redlands

Redlands and Broadwater are nearby Queensland areas with very different housing and demographic profiles. Redlands is far more likely to have separate houses (89.4% compared to 58.5% in Broadwater) and has more children, with 17.3% under age 15. This younger population is supported by more schools, including 13 schools within 3 km, compared to just 3 in Broadwater. Broadwater is notably older, with a typical resident aged 50 and a much higher share of people aged 65 and over (29.0% versus 22.7% in Redlands).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have shifted in several key ways. The difference in housing has grown, with Redlands increasing its lead in separate houses, while Broadwater has seen its lead grow in the share of people born overseas (31.4% versus 22.2%). Despite these drifting trends, they remain very similar in other areas; they share almost identical typical weekly household incomes and nearly the same percentage of people who served in the Defence Force.
