Boondall Bracken Ridge

Bracken Ridge and Boondall are neighbouring suburbs in Brisbane with a few distinct differences. Bracken Ridge is the larger of the two, with more businesses and five schools compared to Boondall's two. It has more separate houses and larger homes, with 95.8% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms. Boondall, however, has more walkable amenities per 1,000 residents (15.4) and better access to health services, which 8.5% of its homes can reach within a 15-minute walk compared to just 0.7% in Bracken Ridge.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, as they share almost identical typical weekly personal incomes of $834 and a similar share of people born overseas.
