Mitchelton The Gap

The Gap and Mitchelton are neighbouring areas in Brisbane with very different housing and layouts. The Gap is an area of large, detached homes, where 92.3% are separate houses and 95.8% have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Mitchelton is much more compact and walkable, with a very walkable score of 7.4 compared to The Gap's somewhat walkable 5.4. Renting is far more common in Mitchelton, where 37.5% of households rent, while only 15.1% do in The Gap. Residents in The Gap also more often own their homes outright (38.8%) compared to Mitchelton (24.4%).

Everyday life is similar in both places when it comes to typical weekly personal incomes, which sit around $1,036 to $1,039. They also share a similar proportion of children under 15 and almost identical rates of long-term health conditions. However, the two areas are drifting apart in some ways; the gap in outright home ownership and the difference in the number of large homes have both widened since 2011.
