Eden-Monaro Gippsland

Eden-Monaro and Gippsland are both large regional areas with populations around 150,000 to 160,000. Eden-Monaro has a more qualified and higher-earning workforce, with 22.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher and a typical weekly personal income of $873. In contrast, Gippsland has much lower levels of education and pay, with 13.7% holding degrees and a typical weekly personal income of $644. Residents in Gippsland are also noticeably older, with a typical age of 46 compared to 43 in Eden-Monaro.

These two areas are very similar in their basic housing and lifestyle patterns, with almost identical numbers of people per home and the same share of residents working from home. This shared experience is underpinned by a similar lack of public transport, though Gippsland has far more weekly departures per 1,000 people. Since 2011, several gaps have shifted; while Eden-Monaro now has a higher share of Year 12 graduates and higher typical incomes, Gippsland has seen its proportion of residents aged 65 and over grow further ahead.
