Brisbane Jimboomba

Brisbane and Jimboomba are nearby Queensland areas with very different lifestyles. Brisbane is very walkable, with 77.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and a high share of renters at 36.6%. It is also more diverse, with 28.3% of people born overseas and 19.1% using another language at home. In contrast, Jimboomba is mostly car-dependent, where 96.5% of homes are separate houses and 92.7% have three or more bedrooms. It has a lower share of people born overseas at 17.8% and fewer adults with a bachelor degree or higher at 10.7%.

Both areas are remarkably similar in their typical weekly personal incomes, which sit around $827 to $860, and they share the same unemployment rate of 5.5%. While these everyday financial figures align, other gaps are changing. The difference in educational attainment has widened since 2011, and the gap in home ownership has shifted, with renting now far more common in Brisbane than in Jimboomba.
