Carina Heights Carindale

Carindale and Carina Heights are neighbouring areas with very different housing and financial profiles. Carindale has a much higher share of separate houses (88.9% compared to 53.6%) and larger homes, with 91.3% having three or more bedrooms. It is also wealthier, with 37.8% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, and far more people own their homes outright (45.7% vs 22.8%). In contrast, Carina Heights is much more rental-heavy, with 41.1% of homes rented compared to just 14.6% in Carindale.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several key ways. The gap in home ownership and the difference in typical resident age have both widened, with Carindale now noticeably older. Despite these diverging trends, the areas remain similar in their typical weekly personal incomes and unemployment rates. They also share the same local climate and an equal level of access to nearby parks.
