Brookfield The Gap

The Gap (Brisbane - Qld) and Brookfield (Qld) are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. The Gap is somewhat walkable, with 93.5% of homes within a 10 minute walk of public transport and a typical resident age of 42. In contrast, Brookfield (Qld) is mostly car-dependent, with a typical resident age of 47 and a higher share of wealthy households; 54.7% of Brookfield (Qld) homes earn $3,000 or more a week compared to 40.4% in The Gap (Brisbane - Qld).

Both areas have similar proportions of people who speak a language other than English at home and a similar share of residents who have served in the Defence Force, which sit near the national figures. While they share these traits, they differ in their access to services. The Gap (Brisbane - Qld) has far more homes within a 15 minute walk of a school (75.4%) and groceries (54.6%), whereas in Brookfield (Qld) these figures are much lower at 17.7% and 7.5% respectively.
