Sandgate Strathpine

Sandgate and Strathpine are neighbouring areas in Greater Brisbane with distinct profiles. Sandgate is much more walkable, with 93.9% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed, compared to 80.2% in Strathpine. This accessibility extends to schools (96.8% versus 75.4%) and groceries (94% versus 83.1%). Sandgate also has a more highly qualified and higher earning population, with 25.2% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher and 20.8% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, both well higher than the figures for Strathpine.

Everyday life is similar in both places, as they share nearly identical typical weekly household incomes and a similar number of people providing unpaid care. However, some gaps are widening; Sandgate has become more diverse, with a higher share of people born overseas and those using another language at home. At the same time, the gap in university qualifications and high weekly earnings has grown since 2011.
