Malabar Matraville

Matraville and Malabar are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Matraville is more populous and diverse, with 28.9% of people using another language at home and 63.3% finishing Year 12. It is also more accessible, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and a typical weekly rent of $480. In contrast, Malabar is more residential, with a higher share of separate houses (61.8%) and a typical rent that is far lower at $150. Malabar also has far more schools per 1,000 children, though it is more car-dependent, with a far longer walk to the nearest transport stop.

Both areas share a similar housing market in other ways, with almost identical shares of households renting and a nearly equal number of people per home. They are also alike in their typical weekly personal incomes and the proportion of residents who have served in the Defence Force. While Matraville has seen more people move in over the last five years, the two areas remain closely matched in several key measures, including their average school advantage scores.
