Bald Hills Bray Park

Bray Park and Bald Hills are neighbouring areas in Queensland that offer very different levels of convenience. Bray Park is much more walkable, with 94% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a '15-minute-city' hub and 100% within 10 minutes of public transport. In contrast, Bald Hills is more car-dependent, where only 54.1% of homes have that same level of walkability and the usual walk to a transport stop is 11 minutes longer. Bald Hills has a more highly qualified workforce, with 21.3% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 13.8% in Bray Park, and a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week.

These two areas share many common traits, including very similar proportions of children under 15 and a nearly identical share of First Nations residents. While they are similar in these ways, the gaps in education and income have widened since 2011. At the same time, the difference in rental rates has narrowed, as Bray Park's share of renters is now only 3.3 percentage points higher than in Bald Hills.
