Deeragun is mainly residential and rural-residential housing with a few service stations, a police station, churches and a shopping centre. Deeragun was a major area for Queensland housing commission homes, so compared to most areas of Townsville is was a lower socio-economic suburb. However the number of housing commission homes is declining, and with the development of one of North Queensland's largest housing estates nearby,(North Shore) Deeragun is considered one of the area's next 'booming' suburbs.A Stockland shopping centre will be going near the Wooodlands shopping centre in the next few years.
Deeragun is served by the Bohlevale State Primary School, St. Anthony's Catholic College and the Northern Beaches State High School.
