Bayside Yarra

Bayside (Vic.) and Yarra are both well-off areas of Melbourne, but they have very different characters. Bayside (Vic.) is much older, with a typical resident aged 45, and is more likely to have separate houses, with 62.5% of homes being detached. In contrast, Yarra is far younger, with a typical resident aged 34, and is dominated by rentals (53.4%) and flats. Bayside (Vic.) also has a much higher share of people caring for children unpaid (28.8%), while Yarra has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (56.1%).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. The difference in typical age has grown to 11 years, and the gap in rental rates has increased to 31 percentage points. Despite these diverging trends, they remain very similar in some ways. Both areas have an unemployment rate of around 3.8% and nearly identical typical weekly family incomes, both sitting just above $3,100.
