Murarrie Carina

Carina and Murarrie are neighbouring areas in Brisbane with very different layouts. Carina is a more walkable hub where most people can reach health services (81.4%) and groceries (83.9%) within a 15-minute walk. It is also more residential in scale, with a typical resident being 17.1% aged 65 or over and 1,825 school enrolments across three schools. Murarrie has a more industrial or sparse feel, with far more separate houses (72.8%) and much lower walkability, as only 45.9% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in some ways while remaining similar in others. The gap in the senior population has widened, while the difference in the share of separate houses has narrowed. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas remain almost identical in their typical weekly rents, around $440 to $450, and the share of people who completed Year 12.
