Chatsworth Clayfield

Clayfield and Chatsworth are nearby Brisbane areas with very different housing styles. Clayfield is dominated by flats and apartments, with 47.5% of households renting and 34.5% of people living alone. In contrast, Chatsworth is mostly separate houses, where 78.2% of homes are detached and 32.0% are owned outright. Clayfield is also much more mobile, with 54.9% of residents having moved in the last five years, and it has a higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 20.4% compared to 9.1% in Chatsworth.

These two areas have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, with the gaps in renting, home size, and overseas arrivals all widening. Despite these shifts, they remain alike in other ways. Both have a similar share of volunteers, almost the same typical weekly family income, and nearly identical proportions of people with long-term health conditions. They also both see a much higher share of adults with university degrees than the national figure.
