Brunswick East Clifton Hill

Brunswick East and Clifton Hill are neighbouring inner-city areas with very different housing and income profiles. Brunswick East is more transient and diverse, with 61.5% of people moving in the last five years and 22.8% using a language other than English at home. Renting is far more common there, at 53.4%. In contrast, Clifton Hill has more families and higher wealth; 44.7% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, and there is a much higher share of three-bedroom homes (51.1% compared to 30.9% in Brunswick East).

While the two areas have seen their gaps in home ownership and income widen over time, they share many similarities in their workforce and health. Both have very similar unemployment rates and shares of people with long-term health conditions. They are also alike in their high levels of education, with the majority of adults in both areas holding a bachelor degree or higher, a figure that sits far above the national average.
