McConnel Nudgee

McConnel and Nudgee are nearby Brisbane areas with very different housing and social profiles. McConnel is a high-density hub where 86.3% of homes are flats or apartments and 66.7% are rented. It is a highly mobile, international area, with 70.8% of people moving in the last five years and 39.1% born overseas. In contrast, Nudgee is more suburban, with 61.4% of homes being separate houses and 65.4% having three or more bedrooms. Nudgee has a much larger share of families, with 17.2% of its population being children under 15, compared to just 7.1% in McConnel.

Both areas are remarkably similar in their financial and employment profiles, sharing almost identical typical weekly household incomes of around $1,937. While they share these economic basics, the gap between them is widening in other areas. Since 2011, McConnel has become increasingly different from Nudgee in terms of its high proportion of renters, university-qualified adults, and people born overseas.
