Bonner Brisbane

Brisbane and Bonner are two nearby areas with very different lifestyles. Brisbane is a highly walkable "walker's paradise" where 53.5% of households rent and 35.5% of people live alone. It is an area of high qualifications, with 46.3% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Bonner is more car-dependent and family-focused; 77.5% of homes are separate houses, and 82.9% have three or more bedrooms. Family life is more common here, as 30.4% of people provide unpaid childcare compared to 19.7% in Brisbane.

These two areas are most alike in their typical weekly household incomes, which both sit around $2,100. They also share similar rates of unemployment and nearly the same proportion of people born overseas. However, the gaps between them are often growing. Since 2011, the difference in renting rates has widened, and the gap in the number of people living alone has increased.
