Kensington Thabeban

Thabeban and Kensington (Qld) are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different housing and transport profiles. Thabeban is more densely populated and has far more separate houses, with 87.2% compared to 70.6% in Kensington (Qld). It is also much more connected to public transport; 84.3% of Thabeban homes are within a 10 minute walk of a stop, while only 16.0% of homes in Kensington (Qld) have that access. In contrast, Kensington (Qld) has a much higher share of First Nations residents finishing Year 12 (46.2% compared to 34.2%) and more homes within walking distance of health services.

These two places share very similar typical weekly incomes and a similar proportion of people born overseas. However, the gap in resident ages is quite distinct, with Kensington (Qld) being noticeably older, as its typical resident is 47 compared to 40 in Thabeban. This age difference is consistent with other trends, as Kensington (Qld) has a higher share of people living alone and more homes owned outright.
