Malaga Morley

Morley and Malaga are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Morley is a populous residential hub where 42.6% of people were born overseas and 35.7% use another language at home. It is a well-qualified area where 59.3% of residents completed Year 12, and it is highly walkable, with 92.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Malaga is sparsely populated and primarily non-residential. It has a much smaller workforce with only 23.8% completing Year 12, but the typical weekly personal income is far higher at $1,350, compared to $737 in Morley.

Daily life in both places shares a similar commute, with both areas taking about 55 to 58 minutes to reach the city by public transport. They also have a similar proportion of adults working or looking for work. However, the two areas are drifting apart in some ways; for example, the gap in typical weekly rent has widened, with Malaga now $415 more expensive than Morley.
