Ipswich Jordan

Jordan and Ipswich are nearby areas in Queensland with distinct profiles. Jordan is a younger place where the typical resident is 32 and children under 15 make up 25.7% of the population. It is far more diverse, with 28.9% of people born overseas and 19.7% using another language at home. Jordan also has more high-earning households, with 27.6% earning $3,000 or more a week, and a typical weekly household income that is well higher than in Ipswich by $763.

Everyday life in both areas shares several similarities, including almost identical rates of volunteering and people with no religion. However, the two places offer very different levels of convenience. Ipswich is much more walkable, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. While Jordan has seen its typical household income rise further above Ipswich since 2011, the gap in school completion has narrowed as Jordan's share of Year 12 graduates is now 13.9 points higher.
