Blair Lilley

Blair and Lilley are two very different Queensland areas. Blair is a sprawling region where detached houses are far more common, with 90.2% of homes being separate houses compared to 66.9% in Lilley. This difference is reflected in the typical home size, as Blair has a far higher share of three or more bedroom properties (85.2% versus 70.9%). Lilley is more urban and accessible, with a very walkable score and a much higher share of residents holding bachelor degrees (30.8% compared to 14.4% in Blair).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who speak little or no English. Outside of that, they have diverged over time; the gap in typical weekly family income has widened since 2011, with Lilley now well higher at $2,398 compared to $1,860 in Blair. They share similar rates of full-time employment and the same typical number of people per bedroom, though Lilley's higher share of university qualifications helps explain its higher number of households earning $3,000 or more a week.
