Morningside Murarrie

Morningside and Murarrie are neighbouring suburbs with very different housing and layouts. Morningside is very walkable, with 99.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 84.5% near health services. It has a higher share of renters (47.0%) and more people living alone (28.1%). In contrast, Murarrie is dominated by separate houses (69.2%) and larger homes, with 80.4% having three or more bedrooms. Murarrie also has a far higher number of schools per 1,000 children (1.10 compared to 0.51 in Morningside).

These two areas are mirroring each other in many ways, with similar typical weekly household incomes of around $2,300 and nearly identical shares of people aged 65 and over. However, the gap in accessibility is widening as Morningside remains far more connected to the city by transit. While both areas sit well above the national figure for university degrees, Morningside's share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher is well higher at 39.5%.
