Kangaroo Point South Brisbane

South Brisbane and Kangaroo Point (Qld) are neighbouring inner-city areas with distinct profiles. South Brisbane is far more multicultural, with 49.5% of people born overseas and 39.8% using a language other than English at home. It is also a younger and more connected hub, where the typical resident is 29 and public transport is far more accessible. In contrast, Kangaroo Point (Qld) is older, with a typical age of 36 and a higher share of people aged 65 and over. It is also wealthier, with a typical weekly personal income of $1,172, compared to $883 in South Brisbane, and more three-bedroom homes.

Both areas are almost identical in their typical monthly home-loan payments of $1,950. They also share a similar scale of household size and high rates of Year 12 completion. While they both sit well above the national figure for people with no religion, this trend is more pronounced in South Brisbane.
