Maiwar McConnel

McConnel and Maiwar are neighbouring areas in Brisbane with very different living patterns. McConnel is dominated by small apartments and renters, with 66.7% of households renting and 42.3% of people living alone. It is a highly mobile place where 70.8% of residents moved in the last five years and 23.3% of homes have no motor vehicle. Maiwar has a more traditional residential feel; it has far more separate houses (41.5%) and larger homes, with 54.1% having three or more bedrooms. This is consistent with Maiwar having more children, with 14.6% of the population under 15 compared to 7.1% in McConnel.

Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has widened or flipped across many measures. While they both share similar typical household incomes and a high proportion of people born overseas, their housing and family structures have drifted apart. For example, the gap in renting has grown from 2.8% to 21.3% over the last decade. McConnel has become much more reliant on public transport, which is reflected in its far higher number of public transport routes and departures.
