Brassall Wulkuraka

Brassall and Wulkuraka are neighbouring areas in Ipswich, but they offer very different levels of accessibility. Brassall is far more walkable, with 45.7% of homes having a 15-minute walk to local amenities, compared to just 0.4% in Wulkuraka. This includes much better access to groceries and schools, along with far more public transport stops and departures. Wulkuraka is more focused on larger family homes, with 91.2% having three or more bedrooms, which is far higher than the 80.4% seen in Brassall.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, maintaining a shared profile where typical weekly family incomes are nearly identical. They are also alike in their levels of overseas-born residents and the share of people who use another language at home. While Brassall has a larger First Nations population and a higher share of people living alone, both areas sit well above the national figure for the proportion of households that rent.
