Alderley is more walkable, with 99.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services compared to 71.9% in Mitchelton. It also has a more highly qualified workforce, where 47.3% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, well higher than the 37.2% in Mitchelton. In contrast, Mitchelton has a higher share of families, with 20.7% of people being children under 15, and more spacious housing, as 77.7% of homes are separate houses compared to 58.4% in Alderley.

Since 2011, these two areas have tracked closely, with several gaps narrowing over time. The difference in Year 12 completion and the share of high-earners have both shrunk, while the gap in large homes has also decreased.

Both areas also sit well above the national figure for university qualifications and household incomes.
