Forest Hill Grantham

Forest Hill (L) (Qld) and Grantham (L) are two small Queensland areas with very different populations. Forest Hill (L) (Qld) is much younger, with a typical resident aged 30, and has a far higher share of one-parent families at 34.8%. In contrast, residents are far older in Grantham (L), where the typical age is 44 and 24.3% of people are aged 65 and over. Forest Hill (L) (Qld) also has a much higher share of renters at 43.5%, while 46.8% of homes in Grantham (L) are owned outright.

These age and housing gaps have widened since 2011, as have the differences in education and family types. Despite this, the two areas share a similar typical weekly personal income of around $530 to $550 and have almost the same share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. They also both have a very high proportion of detached houses, though this is slightly higher in Grantham (L).
