Boronia Bayswater North

Boronia and Bayswater North are neighbouring areas in Victoria with distinct housing and service profiles. Boronia is more densely developed, with a far higher number of schools and a much larger share of residents living within a 15-minute walk of health services (88.2% compared to 55.3%). It also has a more diverse population, with a well higher share of people born overseas (27.2%) and those using another language at home (20.7%). In contrast, Bayswater North is dominated by separate houses, which are far more common there at 83.5% than in Boronia's 71.2%.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted apart in several key ways. The gap in separate housing and the number of people renting have both widened, while the difference in those moving into the area has also grown. Despite these shifts, they share a similar typical resident age of 39 and an identical share of people with no religion (47.7%). They also track closely to each other in typical weekly personal incomes, which are $796 in Boronia and $838 in Bayswater North.
