Mirani Seaforth

Mirani and Seaforth (L) are two nearby Queensland areas with very different age and income profiles. Mirani is a much younger place where the typical resident is 33, and 26.2% of people are children under 15. Seaforth (L) is far older, with a typical age of 58 and a high share of seniors (32.0%). This is reflected in their housing and wealth; Mirani has far more large homes with three or more bedrooms (89.1%) and a typical weekly household income of $1,898, while Seaforth (L) is more likely to have homes owned outright (57.5%) with a typical weekly household income of $989.

Everyday life in both places shares some common ground, as they have the same share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (5.6%) and almost identical unemployment rates. While Mirani is somewhat walkable and Seaforth (L) is mostly car-dependent, both areas are dominated by separate houses. The gap between them has grown significantly since 2011, particularly regarding age and home ownership, as Seaforth (L) has become far older and Mirani has seen a larger increase in children and family households.
