Braunstone South Grafton

South Grafton is a larger centre with 6,288 people, while Braunstone is sparsely populated with only 284 residents. South Grafton has a much higher proportion of First Nations people at 14.6%, compared to 4.6% in Braunstone. The two areas differ sharply in wealth and housing; the typical weekly household income in Braunstone is $1,660, which is far higher than the $975 seen in South Grafton. Braunstone also has a much higher share of homes owned outright (46.8%) and people who finished Year 12 (40.6%), while South Grafton has far more renters (36.3%) and one-parent families (30.1%).

These neighbours share similar levels of people moving in the last five years and a nearly identical number of people per bedroom.

This contrast in infrastructure and services is a defining feature as the two areas maintain very different roles within the region.
