Maleny North Maleny

Maleny and North Maleny are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different living patterns. Maleny is a more connected hub, where 41.1% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 65.0% are near health services; by contrast, North Maleny is car-dependent and almost no homes are within a short walk of shops or doctors. Maleny also has a higher proportion of people living alone (30.7% compared to 18.5%) and a larger First Nations population of 71 people.

While Maleny is more walkable, North Maleny is typically wealthier, with a typical household income of $1,608 per week compared to $1,144 in Maleny. The two areas are very similar in other ways, such as the 5% of residents who have served in the Defence Force and the typical monthly home-loan payments of around $1,600 to $1,700. The gap in typical household income between the two has widened since the last census.
