Maiwar Stafford

Maiwar and Stafford are neighbouring areas in Brisbane with distinct profiles. Maiwar is a young, highly educated hub where 52.3% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and 34.9% were born overseas. It is a transient and diverse place, with 60.6% of people moving in the last five years and 25% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Stafford is more established and residential; separate houses are far more common here at 60.6% compared to 41.5% in Maiwar, and the typical resident is older at 36.

Both areas are remarkably similar in their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $2,000. They also share a high level of accessibility, with nearly every home located within a short walk of public transport and parks. While the two areas have many similarities, the gap in education and overseas arrivals has widened or flipped since 2011, as Maiwar has become increasingly international and academic compared to Stafford.
