Hamilton Murarrie

Hamilton (Qld) and Murarrie are neighbouring areas with very different living patterns. Hamilton (Qld) is a walker's paradise where 40.8% of people live alone and most of the 70% of homes are flats or apartments. Renting is far more common here, at 53.7%. In contrast, Murarrie is dominated by separate houses (69.2%) and larger family homes, with 80.4% having three or more bedrooms.
