Tingalpa Wakerley

Wakerley and Tingalpa are neighbouring areas in Brisbane with similar populations, but they differ sharply in wealth and demographics. Wakerley has a much higher share of university graduates (35.8% compared to 23.8% in Tingalpa) and a typical family income that is $849 higher per week. This is reflected in the housing and family structures, as Wakerley has far more four-bedroom homes and a higher proportion of children under 15 (26.6% against 18.6% in Tingalpa).

Both areas are described as somewhat walkable and share very similar rates of unemployment and school advantage. However, the gap in household earnings is widening, with Wakerley seeing a far higher share of households earning over $3,000 a week. While Tingalpa offers more public transport options and a shorter walk to stops, Wakerley has a much higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services.
