Greenslopes Stretton

Stretton and Greenslopes are two nearby Brisbane areas with very different profiles. Stretton is a multicultural hub where 53.0% of people were born overseas and 55.5% use a language other than English at home. It is dominated by family life, with 94.0% of homes having three or more bedrooms and a much higher share of children under 15 (20.3%). In contrast, Greenslopes has a more professional and urban feel, with 44.2% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher and 21.1% of people earning $2,000 or more a week. It is also more densely populated, with 29.4% of people living alone and a high share of flats or apartments.

Both areas are almost identical in the typical weekly rent residents pay, which sits around $390 to $410. While they share this similarity, other gaps have shifted since 2011. Stretton has become far more diverse and has seen its lead in home ownership grow, while Greenslopes has seen a widening gap in higher incomes and a higher proportion of people working or looking for work. This urban contrast is clear in their walkability; while Stretton is very walkable, Greenslopes is a walker's paradise.
