Keiraville Mount Keira

Keiraville and Mount Keira are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Keiraville is a very walkable area where the typical resident is just 26, far younger than the typical person in Mount Keira who is 40. It is also more transient, with 49.4% of people moving in the last five years and 30.5% arriving from overseas. In contrast, Mount Keira has a more established feel, with a far higher share of separate houses (91.8% compared to 63.4% in Keiraville) and more families, with 19.3% of people being children under 15.

These two neighbours have tracked together since 2011 on many counts, sharing the same typical weekly rent of $420 and almost identical rates of volunteering. They also have very similar proportions of First Nations residents and people with long-term health conditions. However, a divide remains in how people get around; Keiraville has a very walkable score and many public transport stops, while Mount Keira is mostly car-dependent.
