Where this applies
Logan City Council lists Underwood. Australia Post uses 4119. It is not Browns Plains’ 4118 and not Springwood’s 4127, even though those suburbs are nearby.
Housing and roofs
The 2021 Census Suburbs and Localities release for Underwood (Qld) (SAL32897) records 6,809 people and 2,353 private dwellings, 2,145 of them occupied. Of those occupied dwellings, 1,808 (84.3%) were separate houses, 298 (13.9%) were semi-detached, row or townhouse, 30 (1.4%) were flats or apartments, and 0 (0.0%) were other dwellings. In the same ABS table, 74.8% of occupied Queensland private dwellings were separate houses. ABS applies small random adjustments, so the parts may not add to the total. That table does not record roof material, pitch or the year a roof was built.
The flat share is small. Most of the census dwellings are separate houses, with a townhouse share near Queensland’s overall townhouse share of 11.7% (Underwood’s figure is 13.9%). A quote should still say whether this job is a house roof or one of the townhouses. Roof cladding is not in the census.
Climate and storms
The Bureau of Meteorology identifies October to April as Queensland’s severe weather season. That is statewide seasonal context, not a warning that a storm will hit this suburb today. Check current Bureau warnings and the local disaster dashboard before you treat any checklist as urgent. Underwood uses Logan’s flood and storm system, not the Moreton Bay peninsula system. Albany Creek is a different council area and a different postcode. Do not mix their exposure notes.
What to check
- Confirm 4119 Underwood.
- Ask house or townhouse, then tile or metal.
- Ask about access from a sloping or tight lot if that is what you have. The census does not know.
- Use the Logan Flood Portal for the address.
- Do not price Underwood from the Browns Plains townhouse percentage.
