Mornington Spreadborough

Mornington (Qld) and Spreadborough are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Mornington (Qld) is more populous and diverse, with 19.1% of people born overseas and 11.3% using another language at home. It is also more walkable, as 71.3% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services.

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, such as a typical weekly family income that is nearly the same, around $2,700. All homes in both areas are within a 15-minute walk of a park. However, the gap in housing costs is large, with typical weekly rents far higher in Spreadborough ($450) than in Mornington (Qld) ($245).
