Aitkenvale Murray

Aitkenvale and Murray are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Aitkenvale is a family-oriented suburb where 19.4% of people are children and the typical resident is 36. In contrast, Murray is far younger with a typical age of 22 and no children under 15. This difference is reflected in the housing; Aitkenvale has many three-bedroom homes, while Murray is almost entirely made up of one-person households living in one-bedroom homes or studios.

These two places have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, with the gap in education and professional qualifications widening. Aitkenvale has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (19.1% compared to 3.2% in Murray).
