Hemmant Wakerley

Wakerley and Hemmant are neighbouring areas in Brisbane with very different profiles. Wakerley is a wealthier, highly educated hub where 35.8% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 21.9% in Hemmant. This wealth is evident in the usual household income, which is well higher in Wakerley at $2,952 per week, against $2,141 in Hemmant. Wakerley is also much more walkable (somewhat walkable) with far better access to groceries and health services by foot, whereas Hemmant is mostly car-dependent.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the average school advantage score. They also share similar unemployment rates and a similar walk to the nearest public transport stop. While Wakerley has a much larger population and far more children under 15, both areas track closely on the share of people providing unpaid care and the proportion of residents who have served in the Defence Force.
