Aspley Ferny Grove

Aspley and Ferny Grove are neighbouring areas in Brisbane with distinct characters. Ferny Grove is very walkable, with a much higher share of homes within 15 minutes of health services (81.8% compared to 55% in Aspley) and more people with no religion (45.1% versus 34.8%). Aspley is noticeably older, with a typical resident aged 40 and a higher proportion of people aged 65 and over (18.8% against 14%). Aspley also has a more diverse population, as it has a well higher share of people born overseas (27.7% compared to 18.4%) and those using a language other than English at home.

Everyday life in both places is quite similar, as they share nearly identical typical weekly household incomes and the same average number of people per home. While Ferny Grove has more people working from home and a higher share of renters, the gap in home ownership has shifted since 2011. Aspley now has a well higher share of homes owned outright, though this difference was larger a decade ago.
