South Morang Yarrambat

South Morang and Yarrambat are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. South Morang is a younger and more diverse place, where the typical resident is 36 and 31.5% were born overseas. It is more walkable (somewhat walkable) and urban, with 68.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Yarrambat is much older, with a typical age of 47, and it is mostly car-dependent. Yarrambat is also more affluent, with 36.9% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, compared to 25.0% in South Morang.

These two areas have tracked in different directions since 2011. While South Morang has become a hub for recent overseas arrivals—now 10.1% of its population—Yarrambat has remained a more traditional enclave with no recent arrivals. Despite these shifting patterns, the two areas share some basics: typical weekly personal incomes are similar, and both have about three people per home. They also both sit at a similar distance from the city, with drive times of around 31 to 32 minutes.
