Milton West End

West End (Brisbane - Qld) and Milton (Qld) are neighbouring inner-city areas with very different profiles. West End is larger and more family-oriented, with a higher share of children under 15 (12.4%) and more people caring for children unpaid. In contrast, Milton is heavily dominated by renters (68.5%) and young adults, with a typical resident aged just 30. Milton also has much better access to transport, with far more public transport stops and departures per 1,000 people than West End.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining as highly mobile hubs where typical weekly incomes are nearly identical, sitting around $2,100 for households. They share a similar proportion of First Nations residents (1.6%) and both are far more likely to have residents who have recently arrived from overseas than the national figure. While West End has a slightly larger share of people who speak a language other than English at home (28.6%), both are well above the Australian average.
