Forest Hill Lockrose

Forest Hill (L) (Qld) and Lockrose (L) are nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Forest Hill (L) (Qld) is a younger, more mobile area where the typical resident is 30, and 53.8% of people have moved here in the last five years. It is much more walkable (somewhat walkable) with 98.9% of homes within a 10 minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Lockrose (L) is a car-dependent area with an older population—the typical resident is 45—and it has a higher share of full-time workers at 55.3% compared to 41.5% in Forest Hill (L) (Qld).

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions, with the age gap flipping by 15 years and the share of renters becoming far higher in Forest Hill (L) (Qld). Despite these shifts, they remain alike in some ways, such as having almost no one who speaks little or no English and very similar shares of people earning $2,000 or more a week. Both areas also lack homes within a 15 minute walk of health services or groceries.
