Runcorn Stretton

Runcorn and Stretton are neighbouring areas in Brisbane with very different housing and travel profiles. Stretton is dominated by large, detached houses, with 98.6% of homes being separate houses and 44.6% owned outright. In contrast, Runcorn has a higher proportion of renters at 37.8% and more townhouses. This difference extends to local access; Runcorn is much more connected, with 76.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and a short 3-minute walk to the nearest stop, while Stretton takes 26 minutes for the same walk.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people needing help with daily activities. They also share a very high level of cultural diversity, with a large number of residents born overseas and many using a language other than English at home. While Stretton has a higher share of high-income households and a slightly older population, both areas are well-qualified, with a high proportion of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher.
