Alberton Eagleby

Eagleby and Alberton (Qld) are neighbouring areas with very different layouts and demographics. Eagleby is a larger, more mobile community where renting is far higher at 45.3%, and it has a much younger typical resident aged 37. In contrast, Alberton (Qld) is a smaller, more established area where the typical resident is far older at 46 and home ownership is more common, with 41.6% of homes owned outright. This difference extends to the housing itself, as Alberton (Qld) has a far higher share of separate houses at 98.3% and typical monthly mortgage payments that are $800 higher than in Eagleby.

These gaps are most evident in how people get around, as Eagleby is somewhat walkable while Alberton (Qld) is car-dependent. Eagleby provides much better access to the world, with far more public transport stops and a higher share of homes within a short walk of schools and health services. Despite these stark contrasts in infrastructure, the two areas share a similar proportion of people in de facto relationships and have nearly identical terrain slopes. This suggests that while they are just a few kilometres apart, they offer two very different ways of living.
