Brisbane Ryan

Brisbane and Ryan are nearby areas with very different housing and lifestyles. Brisbane is a high-density hub where 53.5% of homes are rented and 35.5% of people live alone, while Ryan is dominated by families in larger homes, with 69.3% being separate houses and 75.1% having three or more bedrooms. Life in Brisbane is more urban; it is far more walkable, with 97.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, whereas the drive time to the city is far higher in Ryan at 24 minutes compared to just 8 minutes in Brisbane.

Everyday life in both places shares a similar social makeup, with nearly identical shares of people born overseas (around 29%) and adults with a university degree (about 46%). They also have very similar typical weekly family incomes, both sitting just under $2,900. However, the gap in housing is widening, with the difference in the share of separate houses and the number of people living alone both increasing since 2011.
