Wyreema Greenmount

Wyreema and Greenmount (L) are nearby Queensland areas with very different housing and population profiles. Wyreema is much younger, with a typical resident aged 29 and a far higher share of renters at 34.1%. It also has a higher proportion of recent overseas arrivals (17.6%) and more large homes, with 92.5% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Greenmount (L) is more established, with residents who are noticeably older and a higher share of homes owned outright (25.3%). Greenmount (L) is also more convenient for pedestrians; it is mostly car-dependent while Wyreema is car-dependent, and Greenmount (L) has far more amenities and schools within a 15-minute walk.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions in several key ways. The gap in renting has narrowed, while the difference in the age of residents and the arrival of people from overseas has widened. Despite these shifting trends, they remain alike in other areas. Both have a similar share of people born overseas (around 5%), almost identical rates of full-time employment and unemployment, and very similar home sizes, typically housing between 2.6 and 2.8 people per dwelling.
