Greenslopes South Brisbane

South Brisbane and Greenslopes are neighbouring areas with very different housing and populations. South Brisbane is a high-density hub where 62.0% of homes are rented and 74.1% are flats or apartments. It is far more diverse, with 38.8% of people born overseas and 29.0% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Greenslopes is more residential, with 56.2% of homes being separate houses and 59.6% having three or more bedrooms. This is consistent with Greenslopes having a larger share of families, with children under 15 making up 16.9% of the population compared to 9.8% in South Brisbane.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the percentage of residents who have served in the Defence Force. They also share similar levels of volunteering and a nearly identical percentage of people who work from home. However, South Brisbane has become increasingly distinct since 2011, with the gaps widening in overseas arrivals and language diversity. At the same time, the difference in housing has shifted, with Greenslopes now seeing a much higher share of detached houses than South Brisbane.
