Adelaide Park Byfield

Byfield and Adelaide Park are nearby Queensland areas with very different financial profiles. Adelaide Park is much wealthier, with a typical household income of $2,091 per week compared to $1,018 in Byfield. This wealth is reflected in the homes; Adelaide Park has a far higher share of four-bedroom houses and more people earning over $3,000 a week. In contrast, Byfield has a far higher share of people in de facto relationships (26.3% compared to 7.6%) and those who identify as having no religion (50.8% versus 38.3%).

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011 in several ways, such as their reliance on cars and the lack of public transport. They are also alike in their small First Nations populations and the share of people who work from home. While Byfield has a noticeably older population and higher rates of outright home ownership, both areas sit far above the national figure for this type of ownership.
