Clifton Nevilton

Clifton (Qld) and Nevilton are neighbouring areas in Queensland, but they differ greatly in scale and layout. Clifton (Qld) is a more active hub where 18.3% of people are children and 39% of residents have moved in recently. It is also somewhat walkable, with many homes within a 15-minute walk of shops and health services. In contrast, Nevilton is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with no children and a far older population, where the typical resident is 60.

Both areas share a similar residential feel, with the same number of people per home and a similar rate of volunteering. They also both sit well outside the national figure for public transport access. While they share these basic traits, the gaps between them remain large, particularly in health and diversity; for example, people born overseas are far more common in Clifton (Qld) at 11.4% compared to none in Nevilton.
