Grays Point Kirrawee

Kirrawee and Grays Point are neighbouring areas with very different housing and lifestyles. Kirrawee is more urban, where 29.5% of homes are rented and 34.7% of dwellings are flats or apartments. In contrast, Grays Point is dominated by separate houses, which make up 98% of homes, and 45.4% of these are owned outright. This difference extends to the homes themselves; 94.7% of Grays Point homes have three or more bedrooms, while only 63% of those in Kirrawee do. Kirrawee is also more diverse, with 16.1% of people using a language other than English at home, compared to 5.3% in Grays Point.

These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, with Kirrawee becoming far more mobile as 41.1% of its people moved in the last five years. Grays Point is more stable, with only 23.9% moving in that time. Despite these shifts, they share some common ground, such as very similar unemployment rates and an almost identical proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. Kirrawee is a walker's paradise, while Grays Point is described as somewhat walkable.
