Lockyer Moggill

Lockyer and Moggill are two Queensland areas with very different economic and social profiles. Moggill is far more affluent, with a typical household income of $2,689 per week compared to $1,461 in Lockyer. This is consistent with a workforce where 37.4% of Moggill residents are professionals, while Lockyer has more labourers and tradespeople. Educational attainment is also far higher in Moggill, where 45.8% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared to just 11.4% in Lockyer. Moggill is also much more diverse, with 31.9% of people born overseas, while the figure is much lower in Lockyer at 13.5%.

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, as both are dominated by detached houses and have roughly the same share of people aged 65 and over. However, the gap in wealth and education has widened since 2011, and Moggill has become much more likely to have people working from home. The two areas also differ in how they are built; Moggill is somewhat walkable, whereas Lockyer is car-dependent. Lockyer does have a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 5.1%, which is well above the national figure.
