“There is a growing number of younger and older Queenslanders who are having to change their living arrangements due to the housing crisis,” she said.
“Building more social housing is an important solution in the short term, but in the medium to long term we will need more supply, and different types of housing, to serve different age groups.”
According to census data, between 2016 and 2021 the population of Queensland increased by 9.6 per cent, while households grew by 13.0 per cent.
The trend has varied across the state, with some parts of Brisbane seeing young people as more likely to lead their families – in Inner Brisbane and Brisbane-South, the number of households headed by people aged 20 to 24 was 10 per cent greater in 2021. than expected.

However, the trend was reversed in other parts of Brisbane – the number of children aged 20-24 in the East Brisbane region was 10 per cent lower, while the level of family formation among the elderly across the city was lower than expected. .
In regional areas that experienced high growth between 2016 and 2021, such as the Sunshine Coast and Cairns, young people were less likely to manage their families.
Sunshine Coast saw a 10 percent decrease in the number of 20- to 24-year-olds heading households more than expected, based on 2016 homeowner rates.
“We need more investigation, but we are certainly seeing changes in the way both young and old Queenslanders form families,” Charles Edwards said.
