Greenslopes McConnel

McConnel and Greenslopes are neighbouring areas in Brisbane with very different living patterns. McConnel is a high-density hub where 86.3% of homes are flats or apartments and 66.7% of households rent. It is a highly mobile place with 70.8% of people moving in the last five years, and 39.1% of residents were born overseas. Greenslopes has a more suburban feel, with 56.2% of homes being separate houses and 59.6% having three or more bedrooms. It is more family-oriented, as 16.9% of the population are children under 15, compared to just 7.1% in McConnel.

Typical weekly personal income is almost identical in both areas, sitting at around $1,110. This shared economic baseline exists alongside a widening gap in how people live. Since 2011, McConnel has seen a sharp increase in the share of people living alone, while the number of people caring for children unpaid is far higher in Greenslopes. This trend is consistent with the housing types and family structures, as the gap in separate houses and large homes has grown significantly over the last decade.
