Hume Moonee Valley

Hume and Moonee Valley are nearby Victorian areas with very different housing and social profiles. Hume is a larger, more suburban place where separate houses are far more common (87.8% compared to 55.4% in Moonee Valley) and homes are typically larger, with 89.3% having three or more bedrooms. It is also more culturally diverse; 39.9% of people were born overseas and 48.8% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, Moonee Valley has a higher share of university-qualified adults (36.7%) and more high earners, with 30.1% of households making $3,000 or more a week.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. The difference in overseas birth and home language use has grown, as has the gap in high weekly incomes and the number of people working from home. Despite these shifting trends, they share some similarities, such as nearly identical typical weekly rents and similar rates of drug offences and property damage.
