Happy Valley Mornington

Mornington (Qld) and Happy Valley (Qld) are neighbouring areas with very different housing and household profiles. Happy Valley (Qld) is dominated by large family homes, with 93.1% of houses having three or more bedrooms and a far higher share of detached houses at 97.8%. In contrast, Mornington (Qld) has many more people living alone (44.5%) and far more small homes. This difference is reflected in the typical weekly rent, which is $420 in Happy Valley (Qld) and much lower at $245 in Mornington (Qld).

Everyday life in both places shares several similarities, including nearly identical rates of renting and very similar numbers of people who need help with daily activities.
