Post a Comment On: Brisbane Apartment

For the past few weeks, I have been looking at the 2011 census data.  It is very useful for property investors.  In my view, the best place to search is via an address search, and the results are then available in layers, from a few blocks, to suburb, post code area, and so on.  You can search here.

For Brisbane City downtown area, in 2011, here is some interesting data (full results here):
