Brisbane Tamborine

Brisbane and Tamborine (L) are nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Brisbane is a major city with a diverse population; 28.3% were born overseas and 19.1% use another language at home. It is also very walkable, with 88.8% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Tamborine (L) is a car-dependent area where every home is a separate house and 93.5% have three or more bedrooms. There is also a sharp contrast in qualifications, as 28.3% of Brisbane adults have a bachelor degree or higher compared to 7.8% in Tamborine (L).

Daily life shares some similarities in both places, such as a typical family income of around $2,200 a week and similar shares of children under 15. However, the two areas have diverged in other ways since 2011. The gap in rental rates has widened, with Brisbane now 31 points higher. Meanwhile, the difference in the typical age of residents has narrowed, as the gap shrank from 15 years to 6 years.
