Kew East Ivanhoe

Ivanhoe and Kew East are neighbouring areas in Melbourne's east with distinct housing and school profiles. Ivanhoe is a larger hub for education, with five schools and a far larger number of enrolments (4,200 compared to 1,499 in Kew East). There is also a noticeable difference in housing; Kew East has far more separate houses (65.8% versus 55.1%) and a higher share of homes with three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Ivanhoe has a larger proportion of people living alone (28.1% compared to 19.7%) and a higher share of renters.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, as they share the same typical resident age of 41 and nearly identical typical weekly family incomes of around $3,100. They also have almost the same proportion of adults with a university degree. While the two areas are alike in these ways, some gaps are widening. Since 2011, the difference in the share of separate houses and the number of people living alone has grown, with Ivanhoe seeing more single-person households and Kew East seeing more detached homes.
