A hillside suburb with more spending power than its shopfronts show.
Ferny Hills is a hillside residential suburb in the Moreton Bay council area, the kind of place where 8,726 people live mostly in houses on blocks big enough for a trampoline and a boat. The median age is 40, but with 31.9% of residents under 25, this reads more like a suburb of established families than one winding down. Household income runs to $2,271 a week, comfortably above what you would expect from the quiet streets and the lack of a proper shopping strip. Ferny Hills earns its living from Brisbane, not from a main road through it.
Word of mouth still gets the local builder through most months, and that has been true for long enough that nobody stops to ask what happens the day a rival outfit shows up first on Google instead. Construction is the largest industry in the Moreton Bay council area by a wide margin, 7,624 businesses, most of them still won one referral at a time rather than one search at a time. Ferny Hills households have money to spend on that work, a median of $2,271 a week, and they increasingly find who does it through a search bar rather than a next-door neighbour. The trade still sells the job once someone turns up. The website decides who gets the phone call first, ahead of the accountant, the physio or the real estate agent who already ranks.
