Bayside Glen Eira

Glen Eira and Bayside are neighbouring areas in Melbourne's south-east. Glen Eira is more diverse and urban, with 31.4% of people using a language other than English at home and 33.8% of households renting. In contrast, Bayside has a more established feel; detached houses are far more common at 62.5%, and the area has a noticeably older population, with a typical resident aged 45 compared to 38 in Glen Eira. Bayside also has a higher share of high-income earners, with 41.4% of households earning $3,000 or more a week.

Since 2011, several gaps between the two have widened. Bayside has become older and more likely to own homes outright, while Glen Eira has seen a higher increase in renters. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain very similar in some ways. They share nearly identical proportions of children under 15, and both have a typical household size of 2.5 people.
