Aspley Clayfield

Clayfield and Aspley are nearby Brisbane areas with very different housing styles. Clayfield is very walkable and has a high share of renters (47.5%) and people living alone (34.5%), with many residents living in flats or apartments. In contrast, Aspley is dominated by separate houses (81.9%), with a much higher share of homes owned outright (34.6%) and far more large homes with three or more bedrooms (89.8%). Clayfield also has a higher proportion of people with bachelor degrees (42.6%) and those earning $2,000 or more a week (22.8%).

These two areas share a very similar typical weekly household income of around $2,100 and nearly identical unemployment rates. While they are similar in these ways, other gaps have shifted since 2011. The difference in home ownership and the share of university degrees have both widened, and the gap in the number of people living alone has grown. Clayfield has also become noticeably more popular with people who have moved in the last five years.
