Flagstone Riverbend

Flagstone and Riverbend are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different layouts. Flagstone is a larger community where it is far more common to rent, with 22.8% of homes rented compared to 12.1% in Riverbend. Riverbend has a much wealthier profile, with 32.4% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, which is far higher than the 19.6% in Flagstone. Infrastructure also differs sharply; Flagstone is mostly car-dependent but has far more public transport and walkable services, while Riverbend is car-dependent and lacks these options.

Everyday life is similar in other ways, as both areas have almost the same typical weekly personal income and a similar number of people per home. They are also alike in their small proportions of First Nations residents and people who speak little or no English. While Flagstone is generally younger, with a typical resident aged 30 compared to 36 in Riverbend, both areas sit well below the national figure for the typical age of residents.
