Chatsworth Lytton

Lytton and Chatsworth are neighbouring areas in Brisbane with distinct profiles. Chatsworth has a much more highly qualified population, with 35.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 24.8% in Lytton. This higher level of education is consistent with more households in Chatsworth earning $3,000 or more per week (36.7% versus 26.1% in Lytton). Lytton is more focused on families and children, with 16 schools within 3km and 93.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, while Chatsworth has only 8 schools nearby and 65.9% of homes within that walking distance.

Both areas share very similar patterns in daily life, such as having about the same number of public transport stops per person and nearly identical rates of full-time employment. While they are alike in these respects, other gaps are shifting. The difference in university qualifications has widened since 2011, while the gap in the share of people born overseas has narrowed. Lytton has also become more likely to have residents with no religion, a lead that has flipped since 2011.
