Pittsworth Southbrook

Pittsworth and Southbrook (L) are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different layouts. Pittsworth is a larger hub that is somewhat walkable, where 85.3% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a city-style walkshed. In contrast, Southbrook (L) is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. Pittsworth also has a much older population, with 26.5% aged 65 and over compared to 13.2% in Southbrook (L), and it is far more likely to have recent overseas arrivals at 13.6% versus 0.0% in Southbrook (L).

Daily life in both places is similar in a few ways, as they share a similar proportion of children under 15 and almost identical typical weekly household incomes. While Pittsworth remains more diverse and has more outright homeowners, several gaps have shifted since 2011. The typical age gap has narrowed significantly, and the difference in the number of volunteers has also shrunk over time.
