Darebin Moreland

Moreland and Darebin are neighbouring areas in Greater Melbourne with similar population sizes. The most striking differences are seen in crime and education. Darebin has a well higher rate of recorded offences, including a theft rate that is 1,333 higher and a burglary rate 217 higher than in Moreland. In contrast, Moreland has a far higher rate of First Nations Year 12 completion at 66.4%, compared to 54.4% in Darebin.

These two neighbours are very alike in their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $1,800 to $1,900. They also share similar shares of children under 15 and people with long-term health conditions. However, some gaps are widening; more people in Darebin now report having no religion, and the typical resident there is now two years older than in Moreland, a gap that has grown since 2011.
