Finnie Westbrook

Westbrook (Qld) and Finnie are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Westbrook (Qld) is a young hub where 25.6% of people are children under 15, a figure far higher than Finnie's 5.8%. This is reflected in the homes, which are more likely to be large, with 97.3% having three or more bedrooms and typical monthly mortgage payments far higher at $1,825. In contrast, Finnie is sparsely populated and much older; the typical resident is 55, and 34.6% of people live alone. Finnie also has a higher share of people earning $2,000 or more a week (21.3%) and more homes owned outright (46.2%).

These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, with the gap in population growth widening as Westbrook (Qld) has expanded.
