Stretton Sunnybank Hills

Sunnybank Hills and Stretton are neighbouring areas in Brisbane with very different housing and transport patterns. Stretton has a much higher share of separate houses (98.6% compared to 84.7% in Sunnybank Hills) and more high-income households, with 30.6% earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 19.5% in Sunnybank Hills. This contrast extends to the commute, as Sunnybank Hills is closer to the city and has better walkability, with 95% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries compared to 80.5% in Stretton.

These differences in accessibility are widening, seen in the growing gap in transit times to the city and walk times to public transport. Despite this, the two areas share a similar cultural profile; both have very high proportions of people born overseas and those using a language other than English at home. They are also alike in their typical weekly personal incomes, which sit around $670 to $708, and both have almost every home within a 15-minute walk of a park.
