Moonee Ponds Strathmore

Moonee Ponds and Strathmore are neighbouring areas with very different housing and lifestyles. Moonee Ponds is a walker's paradise where 100% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while Strathmore is very walkable but more car-reliant. There is a sharp contrast in living arrangements: Moonee Ponds has far more renters (38.6%) and people living alone (34.5%), whereas Strathmore is dominated by detached houses (77.3%) and homes owned outright (42.0%). Moonee Ponds also has a higher share of residents with bachelor degrees (45.1%) and recent overseas arrivals (19.3%).

These two areas have grown apart since 2011, with the gaps in rental rates, home sizes and university qualifications all widening. Despite this, they remain very similar in other ways, including their typical weekly family income of around $2,900 and their overall levels of advantage. Both areas are also well-positioned for work, with typical residents in both places being only slightly older or younger than the national figure.
