Chatsworth Springwood

Springwood and Chatsworth are two nearby Queensland areas with similar population sizes, but they differ in education and income. Chatsworth has a much higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (35.6% compared to 23.9% in Springwood) and more households earning over $3,000 a week (36.7% versus 26.5%). While Springwood has more separate houses and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, Chatsworth is better served by public transport and has more homes within walking distance of groceries.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for people born overseas, at around 27%. They also share a typical resident age of 38 and have almost identical shares of children under 15. While they are similar in these respects, some gaps are shifting. Since 2011, the lead has flipped for typical household incomes and the share of people who completed Year 12, both of which are now higher in Chatsworth.
