In contrast, Brown Hill Creek is sparsely populated and far younger, with a typical age of 36.

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining very alike in their small populations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and those who speak little or no English. While both are located in the same region, their daily layouts differ; Belair is somewhat walkable with many homes near shops and schools, whereas Brown Hill Creek is car-dependent. This is reflected in the transport data, as Belair has far more public transport stops and shorter walk times to the nearest stop.
