Newstead Teneriffe

Newstead and Teneriffe are neighbouring inner-city areas with distinct housing and demographic profiles. Newstead is more transient and diverse, with 80.7% of people moving in the last five years and a higher share of renters at 68.9%. It is also more densely packed, as 99.2% of homes are flats or apartments. In contrast, Teneriffe has a more established feel, with more three-bedroom homes (29.2% compared to 13.9% in Newstead) and a higher typical income, with 42.8% of households earning $3,000 or more a week.

Since 2011, both areas have remained remarkably similar in their overall character. They share nearly identical proportions of people with no religion, and the typical weekly rent is almost the same, sitting around $490 to $510. While both are highly walkable, Teneriffe has more public transport options and a higher number of weekly departures. This helps explain why its residents have a longer walk to the nearest stop and a slightly older typical age of 37, compared to 33 in Newstead.
