Brisbane vs Jervis Bay

Brisbane and Jervis Bay are far apart and differ sharply in their layout and populations. Brisbane is a somewhat walkable area where 79.9% of homes are within a 10 minute walk of public transport and the typical First Nations household earns $1,692, which is much higher than most areas. In contrast, Jervis Bay is car-dependent, with no homes within reach of public transport or health services. First Nations residents there are far older, with a typical age of 42, compared to just 23 in Brisbane.

These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, with Brisbane maintaining far higher levels of walkability and amenity access. This is consistent with Brisbane having a much larger First Nations population of 100,929 people, while Jervis Bay has only 186. Both areas differ from the national figure for First Nations school completion, with Brisbane's 49.6% far above the Australian average and Jervis Bay's 21.4% far below.
