Maylands Morley

Morley and Maylands are neighbouring suburbs with very different housing and social profiles. Morley is dominated by separate houses, with 83.5% of homes being detached and 89.7% having three or more bedrooms. It is also more culturally diverse, with 35.7% of people using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Maylands has a higher proportion of apartments and townhouses, and a much higher share of residents with a bachelor degree or higher (40.1% compared to 22.3% in Morley). Maylands also has a significantly larger share of people living alone (43.0%) and those who rent their homes (49.2%).

The gap in language diversity has widened since 2011, with Morley becoming increasingly more diverse than Maylands. Despite this, the two areas share several similarities, including nearly identical typical weekly incomes and an almost equal share of First Nations residents. Both suburbs are very well connected to public transport, with 99.9% of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop. While Maylands is generally younger and more transient, both areas sit close to the national average for overall advantage.
