Bulimba Mansfield

Bulimba and Mansfield are nearby areas with similar populations, but they differ in their makeup and wealth. Mansfield is much more culturally diverse, with 38.1% of people born overseas and 35.5% using a language other than English at home, compared to 24.1% and 12.4% in Bulimba. Bulimba is wealthier; the typical personal weekly income is $1,202, which is well higher than the $847 seen in Mansfield. This higher income is consistent with more people in Bulimba earning $3,000 or more a week (38.7%) and holding degrees (41.1%).

While these gaps in income and cultural diversity have widened since 2011, the two areas share a typical resident age of 36 and very similar levels of school advantage. They also have almost identical proportions of people with long-term health conditions and one-parent families. A key difference remains in the housing and layout; Bulimba is more walkable, with 94.5% of homes having a 15-minute-city walkshed, whereas Mansfield has a far higher share of separate houses at 76.0%.
