Fortitude Valley Windsor

Fortitude Valley and Windsor are neighbouring areas with very different housing and lifestyles. Fortitude Valley is dominated by apartments, with 50.6% of people living alone and a huge 78.9% of homes being rented. It is a diverse hub where 41.0% of residents were born overseas and 27.2% use another language at home. In contrast, Windsor has a more family-oriented feel, with 48.9% of homes being separate houses and 31.3% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. Families are more common here, as 13.9% of the population are children under 15, compared to just 4.4% in Fortitude Valley.

These two areas have drifted apart as the gap in overseas births has widened since 2011. However, they share some core similarities, such as an equal typical weekly rent of $400 and a similarly high level of education and job skills. While Fortitude Valley is more connected to the city with a 3-minute drive and more public transport, both areas sit near the national figure for overall advantage. This suggests that while their daily environments differ, their general standing in society is quite similar.
