Fisher Flynn

Flynn and Fisher are two very different Queensland areas. Fisher is far more walkable (somewhat walkable) than Flynn (mostly car-dependent), with a much higher share of homes within 15 minutes of groceries, parks and health services. Fisher also has higher education levels, with 20.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 10.5% in Flynn. Housing costs differ sharply; typical weekly rent is $445 in Fisher, which is $185 higher than the $260 typical rent in Flynn.

The gap in education levels has widened since 2011, and the difference in rent has also grown. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas share very similar typical weekly household incomes of around $1,500 to $1,600. They are also alike in the number of people per home, which is 2.5 in both places, and both have similar rates of people needing help with daily activities.
