Paddington Petrie Terrace

Paddington (Qld) and Petrie Terrace are neighbouring inner-city areas with a shared profile of high incomes and high education levels. Paddington (Qld) is more family-oriented, with a well higher share of children under 15 (16.3% compared to 7.2%) and far more people caring for children unpaid. This is consistent with a higher proportion of households earning $3,000 or more a week (43.8% versus 33.7%) and a more qualified workforce, with 53.7% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. Petrie Terrace is much more transient and urban, with far more recent overseas arrivals (28.0% versus 16.4%) and a higher share of renters at 55.3%.

Both areas are very similar in their core characteristics, including the typical monthly home-loan payment and the small share of people who speak little or no English. They are also both high-performing areas compared to the national figure for education and income. Petrie Terrace is more focused on city living, with far more public transport departures per 1,000 people and more walkable amenities than Paddington (Qld).
