Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 1.0 km apart · Maroubra - North profile · Maroubra - South profile

Maroubra - North Maroubra - South

Maroubra - South and Maroubra - North are neighbouring areas with distinct profiles. Maroubra - North is more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $2,415 compared to $1,893 in Maroubra - South. This gap is reflected in housing; Maroubra - North has far more separate houses (42.0% versus 20.1%) and a higher share of homes owned outright (37.6% versus 23.2%). In contrast, Maroubra - South is dominated by rentals, which make up 51.5% of households, and has a much higher share of people living alone at 32.9%.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked similarly across many measures, such as their shared 14-minute drive time to the city and identical proportions of people born overseas. While some gaps have shifted—such as the narrowing difference in outright home ownership and the widening gap in people with no religion—others have remained steady. Both areas sit well above the national figure for adults with a bachelor degree or higher, though this is slightly more common in Maroubra - North.
