Aspley Chermside

Aspley and Chermside are neighbouring areas with very different housing and demographic profiles. Aspley is an older area where the typical resident is 43, and homes are more likely to be larger, with 80.5% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Chermside is much younger, with a typical age of 35, and is dominated by flats or apartments. This difference extends to wealth and tenure; 25.7% of Aspley households earn $3,000 or more a week and 36% own their home outright, while 62.6% of Chermside homes are rented and only 12.5% of households reach that high income bracket.

Despite these shifting trends, the two areas share a similar level of education, with about 29% of adults in both places holding a bachelor degree or higher. They are also alike in their workforce, with roughly 60% of people in full-time employment, and they both have a similar number of businesses.
