Mirani Midge Point

Mirani and Midge Point (L) are two very different Queensland locations. Mirani is a young, family-oriented area where 26.2% of people are children under 15 and the typical resident is 33. It is a hub for services, with a typical household income of $1,898 and a walkability score described as somewhat walkable. In contrast, Midge Point (L) is much older, with a typical age of 57 and 25.3% of residents aged 65 and over. Life there is more car-dependent and quieter, with a typical household income of $1,021 and a much higher share of homes owned outright (46.7%).

Both areas are effectively alike in their use of English and the share of people living alone. However, the gaps between them have grown since 2011. This is most obvious in their age profiles, with the gap in typical resident age widening to 24 years. While Mirani has seen more people move into higher income brackets, Midge Point (L) has seen a rise in the share of homes owned outright.
