New Farm Norman Park

New Farm and Norman Park are neighbouring areas with very different housing and lifestyles. New Farm is dominated by flats and apartments, and it has a high number of people living alone (42.3%) and renters (53.6%). Norman Park is more suburban, with 69.5% of homes being separate houses and far more three-bedroom properties (72.8%). This shift in housing is reflected in the residents; Norman Park has a far higher share of children under 15 (19.4%) and people caring for them unpaid (31.0%), while New Farm has far fewer children (9.3%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the proportion of people aged 65 and over.

However, the gap in home ownership and household size has widened since 2011. While New Farm is more connected with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services, Norman Park has seen a growing share of high-income households earning $3,000 or more a week.
