Clayton South Mulgrave

Mulgrave (Vic.) and Clayton South are neighbouring areas with very different housing and cultural profiles. Mulgrave (Vic.) is more established, with a typical resident aged 40 and a high proportion of separate houses (83%). Many of its homes are large, with 92.9% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Clayton South is younger, with a typical age of 34, and is much more transient; 46.2% of residents moved here in the last five years. It has a far higher proportion of renters (39.4%) and a much larger share of people born overseas (62.8%).

These two areas share many everyday realities, including almost identical proportions of people who have no religion and those who have completed Year 12.

While both are culturally diverse, Clayton South has a far higher share of people who use a language other than English at home (67.1% compared to 51.3% in Mulgrave (Vic.)).
