Brisbane City Milton

Brisbane City and Milton (Qld) are neighbouring inner-city areas with very different profiles.

Brisbane City is also more transit-reliant, as 41.1% of homes have no motor vehicle and the area has far more weekly public transport departures per 1,000 people. In contrast, Milton (Qld) has more separate houses (21.0% versus 0.1%) and a higher typical weekly income of $1,183, compared to $894 in Brisbane City.

Both areas are similar in their First Nations populations, which each sit near the national figure at around 1.2% to 1.6%. They also share a high level of walkability, with every home in both areas located within a 15-minute walk of essential amenities.
