Moggill Toowoomba South

Toowoomba South and Moggill are distinct Queensland areas with very different financial and social profiles. Moggill is far wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,689 compared to $1,443 in Toowoomba South. Education levels are also much higher in Moggill, where 45.8% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 23.4% in Toowoomba South. In contrast, Toowoomba South is more urban and accessible; 78.8% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, while only 47.2% of homes in Moggill do.

Everyday life shares some similarities, as both areas have nearly the same proportion of people using another language at home and a similar share of full-time employees. However, the gaps between them are often widening. The difference in household incomes has grown significantly since 2011, and Moggill's lead in people working from home has also expanded. While Toowoomba South has seen a rise in recent arrivals from overseas, Moggill has become increasingly distinct as a high-income area with a much higher share of university-educated residents.
