Brisbane Redland

Brisbane and Redland are two different types of Queensland living. Brisbane is a very walkable urban hub where 38.1% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, and 24.0% of people use a language other than English at home. Redland is more suburban and residential, with 83.9% of homes being separate houses compared to 62.6% in Brisbane. Homes in Redland also tend to be larger, with 84.2% having three or more bedrooms, which is far higher than the 69.5% seen in Brisbane.

Both areas are very similar in their overall advantage scores, which sit around the national average. They also share nearly identical typical monthly home-loan payments and similar shares of children under 15. However, the gaps between them are often widening; the typical age in Redland is now 7 years older than in Brisbane, and the difference in university qualifications has grown since 2011.
