Brassall West Ipswich

Brassall and West Ipswich are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. West Ipswich is a walker's paradise, where nearly every home is within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, and schools. Brassall is more car-dependent, with only 38.2% of homes within a short walk of groceries and no homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. This gap is seen in the housing too; Brassall has far more large homes, with 80.4% having three or more bedrooms compared to 65.8% in West Ipswich. Brassall also has a younger population and a higher typical weekly family income of $1,738, while West Ipswich is typically older and earns $1,386.

These two neighbours share many common traits, including almost identical shares of people born overseas and those who speak little or no English. They are also alike in their levels of university qualifications and the number of people who volunteer. While Brassall has a higher proportion of children under 15 and more one-parent families than the national figure, West Ipswich is even further above that national mark, with one-parent families making up 39.8% of its households.
