Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 2.8 km apart · Enoggera profile · The Gap profile

Enoggera The Gap

The Gap and Enoggera are neighbouring areas with very different characters. The Gap is an older, wealthier area where the typical resident is 42 and 40.4% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. It is dominated by large family homes, with 92.3% being separate houses and 95.8% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Enoggera is much younger, with a typical age of 32, and is far more transient; over half its residents (55.4%) moved in within the last five years. It has a much higher proportion of renters (50.6%) and a high share of apartments. Enoggera is also far more walkable, described as a walker's paradise, while The Gap is only somewhat walkable.

The gap in home ownership has widened since 2011, with homes owned outright being far higher in The Gap. Despite this, the two areas are very similar in other ways. They share nearly identical unemployment rates, the same score for education and job skills, and a similar proportion of people who have no religion. Both areas also sit well above the national figure for adults with a bachelor degree or higher.
