Howard Aldershot

Howard and Aldershot (L) are two nearby Queensland areas with very different living patterns. Howard is a more walkable hub where the typical resident is 58 and 37.2% of people are aged 65 or over. It has a much higher share of renters at 26.1% and offers far better access to essentials; for example, 94.2% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Aldershot (L) is car-dependent, with a younger typical age of 47 and more families, including 18.1% of the population being children under 15. Homes in Aldershot (L) are generally larger, with 78.5% having three or more bedrooms.

The gap in the typical age of residents has narrowed since 2011, falling from 15 years to 11 years. Both areas share similar levels of unemployment and an equal lack of public transport commuting. They also have nearly identical rates of people volunteering and those who have moved in the last five years. While both areas have populations that are far older than the national figure, they are almost exactly the same when it comes to the share of people living in one-parent families.
