Bulimba Greenslopes

Bulimba and Greenslopes are neighbouring areas in Brisbane with similar populations, but they differ in their housing and services. Bulimba has far more large homes, with 70.5% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms, and a higher share of top earners, including 38.7% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, Greenslopes is much more connected to services; it has far more schools, with 2.21 schools per 1,000 children compared to 1.13 in Bulimba, and far more public transport departures per person.

Both areas are about the same as the national figure for the share of recent overseas arrivals. They also share very similar profiles in terms of people born overseas, the proportion of residents aged 65 and over, and the amount of unpaid care provided. Over time, some gaps have shifted; for example, the typical age of residents in Bulimba was 9 years older than in Greenslopes in 2011, but that gap has narrowed to just one year.
