Springvale Mulgrave

Springvale and Mulgrave are neighbouring areas with distinct profiles. Springvale is a multicultural hub where 66.3% of people were born overseas and 75.6% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, Mulgrave has a higher share of university graduates (32.7% compared to 22.2%) and more high-income households, with 24.9% earning $3,000 or more a week. Housing also differs sharply; Mulgrave has far more large homes, with 92.9% having three or more bedrooms, while Springvale has a much higher rental rate of 39.4%.

Both areas share a similar number of people per home, averaging around 2.9. This commonality sits alongside a widening gap in how people work and live, as the share of people working from home has grown far more in Mulgrave. While Springvale is more walkable for health services and groceries, Mulgrave has seen its share of detached houses increase relative to Springvale since 2011. This shift is consistent with Mulgrave's higher typical income and overall higher standing in access to money and resources.
