Harcourt Malmsbury

Malmsbury (L) and Harcourt (L) are two nearby Victorian areas with different profiles of education and accessibility. Malmsbury (L) has a much higher share of university graduates at 30.2%, compared to 18.7% in Harcourt (L). This higher level of qualification is consistent with more people working from home in Malmsbury (L) (25.6%) and a higher share of the population completing Year 12 (58.6% against 44.0% in Harcourt (L)). In terms of local amenities, Malmsbury (L) is far more walkable for health services (69.3%) and groceries (71.8%), while Harcourt (L) has better access to schools (79.6%) and public transport (91.1%).

Both areas are very similar in their housing styles, with almost every home being a separate house, and they share nearly identical shares of children under 15.
