Glenwood The Palms

Glenwood and The Palms are nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Glenwood is much older, with a typical resident aged 57 and 29.9% of people aged 65 or over. It also has a higher rate of unemployment at 16.1% and lower typical household incomes of $783 a week. In contrast, The Palms is younger and more affluent, with typical weekly household incomes of $1,379 and a higher share of larger homes, as 81.9% have three or more bedrooms.

Both areas are effectively car-dependent, with almost no residents within a 15-minute walk of shops, schools or health services. This shared reliance on vehicles exists alongside diverging trends; since 2011, the gaps in typical income and age have widened, and Glenwood has become far older than The Palms. While both have a higher-than-average share of people born overseas, Glenwood's lead in this area has also grown over time.
