Graceville Taringa

Taringa and Graceville are neighbouring Brisbane areas with very different housing and social profiles. Taringa is a more transient, urban hub where 47.6% of homes are rented and 62.3% are flats or apartments. It has a younger population with a typical age of 33 and a strong international presence, as 25.5% of residents are recent arrivals from overseas. In contrast, Graceville is dominated by larger family homes, with 88.4% of dwellings being separate houses and 88.6% having three or more bedrooms. It is a wealthier area where 46.3% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 25.4% in Taringa.

Everyday life in both places is defined by excellent accessibility, as almost every home is within a 15-minute walk of public transport, parks, and groceries. They also share similar rates of adults working or looking for work, which sits around 71%. While Taringa has a far higher share of people who moved in the last five years, both areas remain high-performing relative to the national figure for overseas births.
