Woodhill

13 km²

A car-dependent edge of the city, Woodhill is a predominantly residential area in the Logan region. It is a remarkably young community where the typical resident is just 31, and children under 15 make up over a quarter of the population. This family-centric character is reflected in the large homes and high rates of unpaid childcare. While it is a quiet residential pocket, it is also an affluent one, with typical household incomes well above the national figure.

Despite high local incomes, the area's schools serve a less advantaged intake.
