Greenslopes Maiwar

Maiwar and Greenslopes are neighbouring areas in Brisbane with very different residential profiles. Maiwar is a younger, more transient hub where the typical resident is 31 and 60.6% of people have moved house in the last five years. It is also much more diverse, with 34.9% of people born overseas and 25.0% using another language at home. In contrast, Greenslopes has a higher share of separate houses at 56.2% compared to 41.5% in Maiwar, and its residents are noticeably older, with a typical age of 35.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people aged 65 and over. They also share a similar housing density, with an average of 2.4 people per home. While the two areas have historically tracked closely, they have diverged in recent years. This is most evident in the housing market, where the gap in the share of separate houses has widened since 2011, and in the workforce, where more people in Maiwar now work from home than in Greenslopes.
