Gatton Grantham

Gatton and Grantham (L) are neighbouring Queensland areas with very different profiles. Gatton is much larger and more diverse, with 29.1% of residents born overseas and 25.8% using a language other than English at home. It is also younger, with a typical age of 33, and has more renters (44.1%) and people who have moved recently (49.4%). Grantham (L) is a smaller, sparsely populated area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 44. Most people there own their homes outright (46.8%), and nearly all live in detached houses (98.7%).

While they are quite different, the gap in the share of people born overseas has widened significantly since 2011. Despite this, the two areas share some similarities, such as having nearly the same proportion of children under 15 and a very similar typical weekly household income of around $1,200. They also have similar rates of people working or looking for work, with both sitting around 56%.
