Morley Malaga

Morley and Malaga are neighbouring areas in Western Australia, but they serve very different purposes. Morley is a large residential hub with 22,714 people, where 42.7% were born overseas and 35.7% use another language at home. In contrast, Malaga is sparsely populated with only 25 residents. There are stark gaps in education and income; for example, 59.3% of Morley residents finished Year 12 compared to 23.8% in Malaga, while typical weekly personal income is far higher in Malaga at $1,350 compared to $737 in Morley.

These two areas share a similar proportion of adults who are working or looking for work, sitting at around 62%. While they are similar in this regard, the gap in typical personal income has widened since 2011. Morley remains far more walkable, with 88.5% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed compared to 42.6% in Malaga. Other differences are also shifting, as the gap in people per home has narrowed since 2011.
