Ashgrove vs Red Hill

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 2.4 km apart · Ashgrove profile · Red Hill profile

Ashgrove Red Hill

Ashgrove and Red Hill (Qld) are neighbouring areas with very different housing and family profiles. Ashgrove is a more established family hub where the typical resident is 38 and children under 15 make up 20.9% of the population. Homes here are more likely to be separate houses, with 77.3% being detached and 76.2% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Red Hill (Qld) is much younger, with a typical age of 32, and a far higher share of renters at 45.9%. It is also more secular, with 53.9% of residents reporting no religion compared to 41.3% in Ashgrove.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, as they have almost identical typical weekly personal incomes and the same proportion of people living with a long-term health condition. Despite these commonalities, the two areas have drifted apart since 2011. The age gap has widened to six years, and the difference in home ownership has grown, with separate houses becoming more common in Ashgrove. Both areas remain well above the national figure for high weekly earners.
