Fitzgibbon Taigum

Taigum and Fitzgibbon are neighbouring areas in Brisbane with very different housing and age profiles. Taigum is much older, with 24.9% of residents aged 65 and over compared to 12.2% in Fitzgibbon. This is reflected in the housing, where Taigum has far more townhouses and semi-detached homes, while 81.9% of homes in Fitzgibbon are separate houses. Fitzgibbon also has a higher share of people using another language at home (39.4% versus 28.8% in Taigum) and more adults with a bachelor degree or higher (33.6% compared to 24.1%).

Both areas have tracked closely since 2011 in many respects, and they remain very similar in several ways. They share nearly identical proportions of First Nations residents, a similar number of people per home, and almost the same typical weekly rent. While Taigum is far more reliant on buses and has more homes within walking distance of groceries, both areas are much higher than the national figure for the share of people born overseas.
