Carindale Nathan

Carindale and Nathan are neighbouring suburbs in Brisbane with distinct profiles. Nathan is more walkable, with 93.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of everything they need, compared to 82.6% in Carindale. Nathan also has a more diverse population, with 30.3% born overseas and 26% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Carindale is wealthier, with 35.4% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, and a larger school system where the typical school has 653 students.

Since 2011, some gaps between these areas have shifted. The difference in the share of overseas-born residents has narrowed, while the gap in rental rates and detached housing has widened. Despite these trends, the two areas remain very similar in other ways. They have almost identical shares of children under 15 and people who finished Year 12, and both areas sit well above the national figure for full-time employment.
