Albany Creek The Hills District

The Hills District and Albany Creek are neighbouring areas in Queensland with different layouts and local services. Albany Creek is more walkable and better connected to schools, with 91.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of one and far more schools per 1,000 children. In contrast, The Hills District is more car-dependent, with a typical walk to the nearest transport stop taking 16 minutes compared to just 3 minutes in Albany Creek. The Hills District also has a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (31.6%) and more people working from home (22.0%).

Both areas are very similar in their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $2,300. This shared economic profile is mirrored in other areas of life, such as the share of children under 15 and the proportion of people needing daily help. While they share these foundations, some gaps are widening. Since 2011, the difference in the share of people who identify as having no religion has grown, and the gap in home ownership and renting has also increased.
