Nundah Sandgate

Sandgate and Nundah are neighbouring areas in Greater Brisbane with very different housing and layouts. Sandgate has far more separate houses (75.3%) and large homes, with 77.7% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms. It is also much easier to get around on foot; most homes are within a 15-minute walk of schools (96.8%) and groceries (94.0%), and residents are usually just 3 minutes from the nearest transport stop. Nundah has a higher share of flats or apartments (30.9%) and typical residents are slightly younger at 36.

Since 2011, several gaps between the two have grown, including the difference in home ownership and the number of people with university degrees, which is well higher in Nundah (32.0%).
