Whittlesea - Wallan Moreland - North

Whittlesea - Wallan and Moreland - North are two very different parts of Melbourne. Whittlesea - Wallan is a sprawling area where detached houses are far more common (87.1% compared to 62.7%) and three-plus bedroom homes are much more typical (88.9% versus 66.1%). It is also a family-heavy area with a higher share of children under 15 (21.5%) and more people caring for children unpaid. In contrast, Moreland - North is more compact and very walkable, with a far higher share of homes within 15 minutes of groceries (95.3% versus 59.1%) and health services (80.1% versus 43.8%). Residents here are also more likely to work from home (29.1% compared to 18.8%) and hold a bachelor degree or higher (31.9% versus 22.8%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who speak little or no English.

While they remain similar in these ways, other gaps are widening; the difference in home types and university qualifications has grown since 2011.
