Blackstone Raceview

Raceview and Blackstone are neighbouring areas in Ipswich with very different layouts. Raceview is very walkable, with 92.7% of homes within a 15 minute walk of groceries and a typical resident who is just 2 minutes from public transport. Blackstone is somewhat walkable and more car-dependent, where 97.4% of homes are separate houses and the drive time to the city is far higher at 49 minutes. There are also notable gaps in education and language; First Nations Year 12 completion is far higher in Raceview (47.7%) than in Blackstone (19.2%), while a First Nations language is far more likely to be spoken in Blackstone (16.3% compared to 2.3%).

Both areas are very similar in terms of typical weekly incomes, which sit around $730 to $770, and they share an almost identical proportion of people who have no religion. They also have the same number of people per home, at 2.6. This shared residential scale is consistent across both neighbourhoods, even as Raceview has seen more people move in over the last five years.
