Malmsbury Newstead

Malmsbury (L) and Newstead (L) are two nearby Victorian areas with distinct demographic profiles. Newstead (L) has a much older population, with 28.4% aged 65 and over compared to 17.8% in Malmsbury (L), and a far higher share of people living alone at 40.5%. Malmsbury (L) is a wealthier area where the typical weekly household income is $1,633, well higher than the $1,034 seen in Newstead (L).
