Marrara Wulagi

Wulagi and Marrara are neighbouring areas with very different housing and age profiles. Wulagi is a young area where the typical resident is 36 and children under 15 make up 25.3% of the population. It is dominated by separate houses, with 98.3% of homes being detached and 96.1% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Marrara is far older, with a typical age of 45, and has a different housing mix where flats or apartments are the most common dwelling type at 46.0%.

Since 2011, these two areas have tracked along similar paths in several key ways. They share a very similar typical weekly family income, and about the same proportion of residents speak a language other than English at home. They also both have about the same share of people with no religion. However, Wulagi remains much more walkable for daily needs, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and schools, while Marrara has a much higher share of people living alone at 30.2%.
