Inala Willawong

Inala and Willawong are neighbouring areas in Brisbane, but they differ sharply in scale and demographics. Inala is a large, young community where the typical resident is 33 and 23.9% of people are children under 15. It is a diverse area where 52.6% of people use another language at home and many rely on rentals, with 54.9% of households renting. In contrast, Willawong is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical resident aged 49. It is wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,031 compared to $998 in Inala, and a higher share of homes owned outright (36.1%).

These two areas have tracked in different directions since 2011, with Inala remaining a high-density hub and Willawong staying largely non-residential. They do share some traits, such as a similar proportion of people living alone (around 25%) and nearly the same percentage of separate houses. Both areas also sit about 19 minutes from the city, though they differ in accessibility; Inala is far more walkable, with 99.9% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport.
