East Ipswich Ipswich

Ipswich and East Ipswich are neighbouring areas with similar population sizes, but they offer very different living environments. Ipswich is more urbanised, with far more walkable amenities, a much higher number of public transport departures, and 96.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. In contrast, East Ipswich has a more residential feel, where separate houses are far more common and 71.7% of homes have three or more bedrooms. There are also stark differences in social outcomes; First Nations unemployment is far higher in Ipswich, while Year 12 completion for First Nations people is far higher in East Ipswich.

Both areas have tracked closely since 2011, maintaining similar levels of university qualifications and a nearly identical share of people with long-term health conditions. They also share a similar commute, with a drive time to the city of about 31 to 32 minutes. While they remain alike in these respects, the gap in housing tenure is notable, as renting is far more common in Ipswich compared to East Ipswich.
