Clayton South Springvale South

Clayton South and Springvale South are neighbouring areas with distinct housing and education profiles. Clayton South is more mobile and highly qualified, with a far higher share of adults holding a bachelor degree (34.3% compared to 15.8%) and a much higher proportion of renters (39.4% versus 26.9%). In contrast, Springvale South is dominated by detached houses, which are far more common there than in Clayton South (85.8% versus 56.0%), and has a far higher share of people who speak little or no English (25.3% compared to 14.2%).

Both areas are very similar in the proportion of their population aged 65 and over, which sits around 16%. This shared age profile exists alongside other similarities, such as nearly identical rates of people providing unpaid care. However, the two areas have drifted apart in some ways; the gap in the number of people who have moved recently has widened, with Clayton South seeing a far higher share of new residents (46.2%) than Springvale South (29.1%).
