Petrie Terrace South Brisbane

South Brisbane and Petrie Terrace are neighbouring areas in the inner city, yet they offer very different lifestyles. South Brisbane is a high-density hub where 93.7% of homes are flats or apartments and 49.5% of people were born overseas. In contrast, Petrie Terrace is dominated by separate houses (76%) and has a much higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (33.7% compared to 22.5% in South Brisbane). This difference extends to the homes themselves, with 64.8% of Petrie Terrace dwellings having three or more bedrooms, while only 14.4% of homes in South Brisbane are that size.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of one-parent families, with South Brisbane at 13.2% and Petrie Terrace at 8.8%. They also share a similar urban feel, with everyone in both places living in a 15-minute-city walkshed. However, South Brisbane remains more transient, as a far higher share of its residents have moved in the last five years (74.9%) and a far higher share use a language other than English at home (39.8%).
