Mount Warren Park is still affordable — but less advantaged

Mount Warren Park 4207 · Beenleigh, Greater Brisbane, QLD

Mount Warren Park is still relatively affordable to rent, with a median of $340 a week at the 2021 Census; well served for the everyday — 3 schools and 2 supermarkets. The trade-offs: it is less advantaged than most of Australia (SEIFA decile 3 of 10); the population is barely moving — in fact it is shrinking.

Mostly free-standing houses, with a median age of 41 and households on a median $1,496 a week at the 2021 Census.
