Maribyrnong Niddrie

Maribyrnong and Niddrie are neighbouring areas with very different housing and cultural profiles. Maribyrnong is a younger, more transient place where 43.6% of people were born overseas and 47.9% use a language other than English at home. It has a higher share of renters (37.7%) and more flats or apartments. In contrast, Niddrie is older and more settled, with 65.2% of homes being separate houses and 37.3% owned outright. Families are more common in Niddrie, where 18.0% of the population are children under 15, compared to 13.7% in Maribyrnong.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of children under 15, with Niddrie being about the same and Maribyrnong slightly below. They share very similar typical weekly incomes, around $970, and almost everyone in both areas lives within a 15-minute walk of a park. While they are effectively alike in these respects, Maribyrnong remains far more connected by public transport, with a much higher number of weekly departures and a shorter walk to the nearest stop.
