Boyland Beechmont

Boyland and Beechmont are two nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Boyland is a younger place, with a typical resident aged 40 and a much higher share of children under 15 (22.6%). It is also wealthier, with a typical household income of $2,356 per week and 28.9% of homes earning $3,000 or more weekly. Homes in Boyland tend to be larger, with 95.3% having three or more bedrooms.

The gap in household income has widened since 2011, though the two areas share some basic traits. Both are made up entirely of separate houses and have no residents who rely on public transport.
