Bulimba Clayfield

Clayfield and Bulimba are neighbouring areas with similar population sizes, but they offer different living patterns. Clayfield has a far higher share of renters at 47.5% and people living alone at 34.5%. It is also a hub for transport, with far more public transport routes and departures. In contrast, Bulimba has far more separate houses (57.6%) and homes with three or more bedrooms (70.5%). Bulimba also has a higher share of children under 15 at 18.5%, which helps explain why more people there are unpaid carers for children.

Both areas are almost identical in several ways, including a typical resident age of 36 and very similar levels of school advantage. While they share these common traits, the gap between them has shifted over time. Since 2011, the lead has flipped across many measures; for example, Bulimba now has a higher share of high-income households and a higher typical weekly income than Clayfield, reversing the previous trend.
