Keiraville Mount Ousley

Keiraville and Mount Ousley are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Keiraville is a young, mobile place where the typical resident is just 26 and nearly half the population moved in within the last five years. It is highly connected, with 96.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and far more public transport options. In contrast, Mount Ousley is much older, with a typical resident aged 42. It feels more suburban, with 93.6% of dwellings being separate houses and a much higher share of homes owned outright (48.0% compared to 36.5% in Keiraville).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, maintaining a shared profile of well-qualified residents with the exact same share of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher (32.5%). They also share a similar landscape, with nearly every home in both areas located within a 15-minute walk of a park. While Keiraville is far more likely to be a hub for recent overseas arrivals (30.5%), both areas remain slightly more diverse than the national figure in terms of the languages spoken at home.
