Bulimba Chatsworth

Bulimba and Chatsworth are neighbouring areas with very different housing and layouts. Bulimba is far more walkable, with 94.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school and 83.3% near health services. It has a more transient feel, as 51.9% of residents moved there in the last five years, and renting is far higher at 37.3%. In contrast, Chatsworth is dominated by larger family homes, with 88.3% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms and a far higher share of detached houses at 78.2%.

These two areas have drifted further apart in several ways since 2011. The gap in rental rates and the number of people moving in has widened, and Bulimba has seen its share of high earners and university degrees grow compared to Chatsworth. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas remain very similar in other ways. They share almost identical typical weekly household incomes, with Bulimba at $2,443 and Chatsworth at $2,385, and both have about the same share of volunteers and people who served in the Defence Force.
