Casey Indi

Indi and Casey are two Victorian areas with similar population sizes, but they offer very different lifestyles. Casey is more urban and connected, with a typical weekly household income of $1,884 and 71.5% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Indi is more rural and older, with residents who are noticeably older on average and a typical household income of $1,367. Indi also has a higher share of homes owned outright (40.6%) and more people who volunteer (19.5%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people providing unpaid care. They also share similar unemployment rates and a nearly identical number of school enrolments. While Casey has seen its lead grow in typical income and rent since 2011, other gaps are shifting. For example, the difference in the share of people born overseas has narrowed, and the gap in the number of people who have completed Year 12 has flipped since 2011.
