Hamlyn Heights Moorabool

Moorabool and Hamlyn Heights are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Moorabool is sparsely populated and car-dependent, where every home is a separate house and 100% have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Hamlyn Heights is a much larger population centre that is very walkable, with 97% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a city center. There are also notable social differences: people living alone are far more common in Hamlyn Heights (31.8% compared to 12.1% in Moorabool), and high earners making $3,000 or more a week are also far more numerous there (20.9% versus 9.1%).

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the typical monthly home-loan payment, which is around $1,600 to $1,700. They also share a similar typical weekly rent of about $345 to $350. While they are alike in these costs, other gaps remain wide; for example, the share of people with no religion is far higher in Hamlyn Heights. This trend of higher mobility is also evident there, where 40.6% of residents moved in the last five years, compared to just 24.4% in Moorabool.
