Housing & Dwellings in Moira
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
More than 90% of homes in Moira are separate houses, making it far more likely to have a detached dwelling than in the rest of Victoria. This preference for larger houses is paired with very low housing costs compared to state and national figures. Overall, the area is defined by spacious living and a high rate of outright home ownership.
