Bulimba Lytton

Bulimba and Lytton are neighbouring areas in Brisbane with very different profiles. Bulimba has a much more highly educated workforce, with 41.1% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 24.8% in Lytton. This helps explain the pay gap between them; the typical weekly household income in Bulimba is $2,443, well higher than the $1,939 usual in Lytton. Bulimba also offers better walkability, with 83.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, while only 56.4% of Lytton homes have the same access.

Many of these gaps have widened since 2011, particularly the difference in university qualifications and high incomes. Despite this, the two areas share a similar population density, with exactly 2.5 people per home in both. They also have almost identical proportions of children under 15, and both areas have about the same share of people living alone at 24.5%.
