Eaglemont Heidelberg Heights

Heidelberg Heights and Eaglemont are neighbouring areas in Melbourne's north east with very different profiles. Eaglemont is an older and wealthier area, where the typical resident is 46 and a far higher share of homes are owned outright (48.9% compared to 23.9% in Heidelberg Heights). It also has a more highly qualified workforce, with 50.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Heidelberg Heights is much younger, with a typical age of 35, and a higher proportion of people renting their homes (41.9%).

While the two areas are quite different, they share a similar number of people who have served in the Defence Force and an equal share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park. However, the gap in housing and wealth is stark, with Eaglemont seeing far more households earning $3,000 or more a week (46.0%) than Heidelberg Heights (22.4%). This is consistent with the higher proportion of large four-bedroom homes found in Eaglemont.
