New Farm East Brisbane

New Farm and East Brisbane are neighbouring areas with different housing and age profiles. New Farm has a much higher share of people living alone (42.3%) and a typical resident who is noticeably older at 39. This is consistent with it having more seniors (17.6%) and a high proportion of apartments. In contrast, East Brisbane is noticeably younger, with a typical resident aged 33, and has far more separate houses (44.0%) and homes with three or more bedrooms (48.9%).

Both areas share a very similar typical weekly household income of around $2,060, which sits just above the national figure. They are also alike in their shares of people in de facto relationships and the number of schools within 3 km. While they share these commonalities, some gaps are widening; residents in New Farm are now noticeably older than those in East Brisbane, and a larger share of New Farm households earn $3,000 or more a week compared to 2011.
