Hemmant Murarrie

Murarrie and Hemmant are neighbouring areas in Brisbane that offer very different lifestyles. Murarrie is a somewhat walkable area where 89.8% of homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport and 57.3% are near groceries. It has a more highly qualified population, with 32.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, and a higher share of renters at 36.6%. In contrast, Hemmant is mostly car-dependent, with only 7.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. It is dominated by larger homes, as 91.1% are separate houses and 90.5% have three or more bedrooms.

These two areas are remarkably similar in their family structures and demographics. They share nearly identical proportions of children under 15 and one-parent families, and the typical number of people per home is almost the same.
