Carnegie Hughesdale

Carnegie and Hughesdale are neighbouring areas in Melbourne's east with very different housing and school profiles. Carnegie is more densely populated and urban, with 35.5% of people living alone and only 31.1% of homes being separate houses. In contrast, Hughesdale has far more space, with 53.6% of homes being separate houses and 58% having three or more bedrooms. Hughesdale also has a much larger presence of schools, with 2,228 enrolments and a far higher number of schools per 1,000 children compared to Carnegie.

The gap in housing types has widened since 2011, as Carnegie has become even more distinct from Hughesdale in its preference for apartments over houses. Despite this shift, the two areas remain very similar in other ways, such as having almost identical typical weekly family incomes of around $2,540. They also share a similar proportion of seniors and volunteers, and both have a much higher share of university-qualified adults than the national figure.
