Gulmarrad Maclean

Maclean and Gulmarrad are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Maclean is a very walkable hub where 30.5% of homes are rented, 34.4% of people live alone, and 21.1% of families have one parent. It has far more schools per child (7.71) and a higher First Nations population (10.2%). In contrast, Gulmarrad is car-dependent, with most residents living in detached houses, 55.3% of which are owned outright. The area is more residential, with 93.5% of homes having three or more bedrooms and a much higher rate of Year 12 completion among First Nations people (46.7%).

Everyday life shares several similarities, as both areas have almost the same typical weekly family income, around $1,300, and similar shares of adults with a bachelor degree. They also have nearly identical proportions of people born overseas. While Maclean offers much easier access to shops and health services on foot, the two areas remain closely aligned in their employment patterns, with full-time work rates and the number of people earning over $2,000 a week being nearly the same.
