East Brisbane Hawthorne

East Brisbane and Hawthorne are neighbouring areas with different housing and income profiles. Hawthorne is wealthier and has more families, with 66.7% of homes housing couples with children and a typical family income of $3,945 a week. In contrast, East Brisbane has a younger feel, with a typical resident aged 33 and a higher share of renters at 56.3%. East Brisbane also has a more diverse population, with 19.1% of people using a language other than English at home and a higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 27.3%.

Since 2011, the gap between the two has widened in several key ways. The difference in typical family income has more than doubled, while the divide in home ownership and high-earners has also grown.

Both areas also sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
