Inala Ipswich

Inala and Ipswich are nearby Queensland areas with very different cultural profiles. Inala is far more diverse, with 41.6% of people born overseas and 41.0% using a language other than English at home, compared to 13.3% and 6.7% in Ipswich. Inala also has a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (18.8% against 14.5%). In contrast, Ipswich has a higher proportion of people with no religion (43.6% compared to 28.9%) and a higher rate of long-term health conditions, at 35.2% compared to 24.3% in Inala.

The gap in overseas births has widened significantly since 2011, reflecting these growing differences. Despite this, the two areas are very similar in other ways. They both have the same share of children under 15 (20.5%) and similar typical weekly incomes of around $1,500. Both areas are also described as somewhat walkable, and roughly half of the homes in each area are within a 15-minute walk of health services.
