Clayton South Springvale

Springvale and Clayton South are neighbouring areas in Melbourne's east. Springvale has a larger population and is more diverse, with a far higher share of people who speak little or no English (25.1% compared to 14.2%). It also has a much higher number of schools and larger average school sizes. Clayton South is more highly qualified, with a far higher share of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher (34.3% compared to 22.2%).

This educational gap has widened since 2011, and a similar trend is seen in income, where the gap in weekly earnings of $3,000 or more has also increased. Despite this, the two areas are very similar in other ways. They have nearly the same proportion of children, seniors, and people with long-term health conditions. Both areas are also well above the national figure for people born overseas, with over 60% of residents in both places born outside Australia.
