Magpie Mount Clear

Mount Clear and Magpie are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Mount Clear is a very walkable area where 31.3% of households rent and many residents are recent overseas arrivals (19.7%). It is younger and more diverse, with a typical resident aged 37. By contrast, Magpie is car-dependent and far more established; the typical resident is far older at 48, and 54.8% of homes are owned outright. Magpie consists entirely of separate houses, while Mount Clear has a mix of housing types and a higher share of people living alone (29.0%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for homes owned outright, though Magpie's share is far above the Australian average. They share similar levels of volunteering and a similar proportion of adults working or looking for work. While Mount Clear has a high density of public transport and shops, Magpie is much more sparsely populated. The gap in housing tenure is significant, but both areas have a similar share of people earning over $2,000 a week.
