Bramston Beach Mourilyan

Mourilyan (L) and Bramston Beach (L) are two small Queensland areas with very different profiles. Mourilyan (L) is a younger, more diverse place where 15.1% of people are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and 23.8% of residents arrived recently from overseas. It also has a higher share of children, with 18.2% under 15. In contrast, Bramston Beach (L) is a retirement-heavy area; the typical resident is 65, and 55.3% of the population are seniors. This is reflected in the housing, with 52.6% of homes owned outright in Bramston Beach (L) compared to 35.4% in Mourilyan (L).

Both areas are entirely car-dependent and lack basic walkable amenities like groceries or health services. They are also similar in the share of people living alone and those providing unpaid care.

Bramston Beach (L) has become much older, with the age gap between the two areas widening to 20 years.
