Robertson Sunnybank Hills

Sunnybank Hills and Robertson are neighboring areas in Brisbane with very different housing and amenity profiles. Sunnybank Hills is a larger area where separate houses are far more common (84.7% compared to 69.1% in Robertson) and 92.1% of homes have three or more bedrooms. It is also more walkable for daily needs, with 95.0% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, whereas Robertson is far higher for health service access (84.4% vs 60.3%). Robertson is more highly qualified, with 41.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 32.7% in Sunnybank Hills.

Since 2011, the two areas have diverged in some ways while staying similar in others. The gap in the number of separate houses has widened, and Robertson has seen its share of university-qualified adults grow further ahead. However, the gap in the number of people using another language at home has narrowed, and the typical age remains identical at 37. Both areas sit far above the national figure for people born overseas, with over half of residents in each area born abroad.
